Southern Salmon Patties

Ingredients:

2 cans of salmon
1 small onion, finely diced
2 eggs
6 tablespoons mayonnaise
6 tablespoons flour
6 tablespoons cornmeal
Oil for frying
Instructions:

Prepare the Salmon Mixture: Open the salmon cans and add the contents to a large bowl. Remove the pin bones if desired. Add the diced onion, eggs, and mayonnaise, and stir until well combined.

Add Dry Ingredients: Mix in the flour and cornmeal until the mixture is evenly combined.

Heat Oil: Heat oil in a cast iron or heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat.

Form Patties: Use an ice cream scoop to portion the salmon mixture, ensuring uniform-sized patties. Flatten each scoop slightly.

Fry the Patties: Fry the patties in the heated oil until golden brown on both sides, flipping halfway through.

Finish and Serve: Lightly sprinkle with salt after removing from the skillet. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce. Optional: Add jalapeños to the mixture before frying for extra flavor.
