If you have never tried a salmon fritter before, you are missing out. They are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Let's also talk about the flavor. Even people who don't love salmon, love this recipe.

I grew in up Alaska and we ate a lot of salmon, but I never appreciated it growing up. It was just always there and we ALWAYS ate it.

Ingredients

Salmon- I used canned salmon, but I will also show below how to use fresh salmon.
All-purpose flour- This is used as a binder.
Eggs- I separate my eggs and will show this method below.
Seasonings- salt, pepper, garlic powder, etc.
Oil- for frying. No, you cannot bake these. I don't fry often, but this is one recipe I ALWAYS fry.

Salmon

There are 2 types of salmon to use.

If you are looking for some side dish recipes to accompany the fritters, let me make a few suggestions:

Skillet Cornbread is the perfect side for these fritters!
Couscous Veggie Salad
Broccoli and Cheese Bites
Corn and Millet Fritters
Healthy Ambrosia Salad
Creamy Wild Rice Casserole

Ingredients

2 cups flaked salmon You can either bake a fillet at 400 degrees for about 7 minutes. Let it cool and flake, or you can open a can of canned salmon. Make sure if you use canned salmon to drain really well.
4 eggs, separated
3 tablespoons all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon dill weed
1 teaspoon parsley, fried or fresh chopped
canola oil, or oil of choice for frying. You will need enough to give you about 1 1/2 inches in whatever pan you are frying in.

Instructions

Start heating oil in heavy bottom pan. You want it to be hot and ready by the time you are done mixing ingredients. I like my oil to be about 370-375 degrees for frying.Now, here is one thing about frying- as long as your oil is nice and hot, oil absorption into your food is minimal. The cooler the oil, the more it will absorb into your food, yuck!Add salmon, egg yolks, flour and spices to medium sized bowl. Mix well.In another bowl, beat egg whites to soft peaks. Gently fold the egg whites into the salmon mixture. Now, it is ready to fry!Drop carefully by spoonfuls into the hot oil. Fry, turning occasionally until the salmon fritters are golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon, draining. Place on a paper towel lined plate to absorb the rest of the oil. Now, sit back and enjoy. You deserve it!

I use cornmeal instead of flour in my salmon patties. The texture and taste is so much better than flour. Try it and let me know what you think.
