Instructions:
Open and Drain Salmon: Open the canned salmon and drain it thoroughly. Place the drained salmon in a mixing bowl.
Flake Salmon: Using a fork, flake the salmon evenly in the mixing bowl. This ensures a consistent texture for your patties.
Add Ingredients: To the flaked salmon, add finely chopped onion, cornmeal, flour, mayonnaise, and the egg.
Stir Until Well Blended: Stir the mixture until all ingredients are well blended. This creates a cohesive mixture for shaping the patties.
Shape Patties: Shape the mixture into patties, each about the size of an average burger or less. Ensure they are evenly shaped for uniform cooking.
Cook in Oil: In a skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Cook the patties until they are golden brown on each side. Remember to turn them once during frying for even cooking.
Serve and Enjoy: Once browned and cooked through, transfer the patties to a plate. Serve them hot and enjoy the delicious Southern Fried Salmon Patties!
