Grandma’s Salmon Patties are an easy recipe that uses canned salmon and is one of grandmas most requested meals!
My husband is not a seafood fan but he loves these Salmon Patties and so do our boys! This recipe is one of his grandma’s staples and everyone from the farm help to the Fedex man have been known to stop by when she is making them!

Salmon Patties make the perfect family friendly, Friday meal during Lent but are enjoyed here all year long.

Grandma insists that you must use the red label Royal Salmon canned salmon. I have the best luck finding it at Walmart. But, you could also use leftover fresh salmon or any other variety canned salmon.

INGREDIENTS:

• 6 oz. can skinless/boneless pink salmon, drained
• 2 T. diced onion
• good pinch each of salt and pepper
• 1 large egg
• 1 T. buttermilk
• 2 T. cornmeal
• 4 T. all purpose flour
• Veg. oil for frying

INSTRUCTIONS:

In a bowl, combine the salmon, onion, salt and pepper. Stir in the egg, buttermilk, cornmeal and flour. Combine well. Heat about 1/4″ oil in the bottom of a med. size iron skillet over med. high heat. Drop spoonfuls of the salmon mixture into the hot oil and flatten out just a tad. Fry, in batches, about a minute per side or until golden brown. Drain on a paper sack or paper towel lined plate. Makes 10 patties.
