HOW TO MAKE OLD-FASHIONED SALMON PATTIES
Step 1: After draining the pink salmon, de-bone them and shred using two forks.
Step 2: In a bowl, place the shredded salmons, onions, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
Step 3: Beat the egg and milk in a different bowl, then add this to the salmon mix. Mix well until combined. Next, add the buttermilk, cornmeal, and flour. Mix again until well blended.
Step 4: In a medium-sized iron skillet, heat 1/4 c of canola oil on medium heat. Once the oil is hot, drop spoonfuls of the salmon mix, then slightly flatten them. Fry the salmon patties for about 1 minute per side until the brown crust forms. On a paper towel-lined plate, transfer the fried salmon patties.
Step 5: Serve the salmon patties right away with your favorite toppings. Enjoy!
Tips:
Avoid flipping the patties multiple times when drying them. Cook the first side, undisturbed before flipping. Doing so will keep the patties from falling apart.
Side Dishes:
Pair these salmon patties with creamed peas, mashed potato cakes, Grandma’s deviled eggs, buttermilk Mac & cheese, or coleslaw.
