Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 can pink salmon 14.75-oz can, with or without bones
- 0.25 cup chopped onion
- 0.25 cup yellow cornmeal
- 1 large egg egg
- 0.25 cup all-purpose flour or almond flour
- 3 tbsp mayonnaise
- 0.25 tsp chili powder
- 0.5 tbsp olive oil or vegetable oil
- to taste salt and pepper
Instructions
- Open the can of salmon, drain it completely, and place it in a mixing bowl. Use a fork to break up the salmon into smaller pieces.
- Add the chopped onion, cornmeal, flour, mayonnaise, chili powder, egg, salt, and pepper to the bowl. Mix well until all ingredients are fully combined. Tip: Make sure the mixture is not too wet; if it is, add a bit more flour to hold it together.
- Shape the mixture into patties, forming them to your desired size, like small burgers. Tip: For even cooking, try to keep the patties uniform in size.
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. A hot skillet ensures a nice sear on the patties.
- Cook the patties in the skillet until they are golden brown on each side, about 5 minutes per side. Flip them once during cooking to brown both sides evenly. Tip: If the patties are browning too quickly, lower the heat to ensure they cook through without burning.
