Ingredients:
- 1 can (14.75 ounces) of salmon
- 2 eggs
- 1/3 cup of cornmeal OR 5-10 saltine crackers (or 1 tablespoon of flour if preferred)
- 1 small onion, finely chopped OR onion powder, to taste
- Bald Buck Seasoning (Bold Taste Flavor)
- Oil for frying
Instructions:
- Drain the salmon and transfer it to a mixing bowl. Remove any large bones if desired. Break the salmon into chunks using a fork.
- Add eggs, chopped onion (or onion powder), and Bald Buck Seasoning to the bowl with the salmon.
- For a fried texture:
- If using cornmeal and flour: Gradually add the cornmeal and flour mixture into the bowl while mixing until you achieve a consistency suitable for shaping patties.
- For traditional patties: Instead of cornmeal and flour, use crushed saltine crackers. Mix until you attain a consistency that allows you to form patties.
- Heat oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, reduce the heat to medium.
- Take portions of the patty mixture, shape them into patties by rolling between your palms, and flatten to your desired thickness.
- Place the patties in the pan and fry each side until they turn golden brown, which typically takes 5-10 minutes in total.
- Once done, remove the patties from the pan and place them on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
