Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (14 3/4 ounce) canned salmon, drained
- 1/4 cup onion, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup cornmeal
- 1/4 cup flour
- 1 egg
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
Instructions
- Open the canned salmon and drain thoroughly. Flake the salmon evenly with a fork in a mixing bowl.
- Add the chopped onion, cornmeal, flour, mayonnaise, and egg to the salmon mixture. Stir until well blended.
- Shape the mixture into patties, about the size of an average burger or smaller.
- Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook the patties until browned on each side. Flip them once while frying to ensure even cooking.
- Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
- The mayonnaise helps the patties hold their shape and keeps them moist, preventing them from being dry.
- Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
- If you prefer a crunchier texture, add more cornmeal to the mixture.
