Southern Fried Salmon Patties Recipe

1. Mix the Patties
   Flake the salmon into a bowl with a fork. Add onion, flour, cornmeal, egg, mayonnaise, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.

2. Shape & Fry
   Form the mixture into patties. Heat about 1 inch of oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 3–4 minutes per side.

3. Serve Hot
   Drain on paper towels and serve warm with dipping sauce, lemon wedges, or a side of greens.

Tips & Variations

Make it Moroccan: Add parsley, cumin, or harissa for a flavorful twist.

For a crispier crust: Chill patties for 15 minutes before frying.

Lighter option: Pan-fry with less oil or bake at 400°F until golden.

Serving ideas: Tuck into a sandwich, serve over rice, or pair with coleslaw.
