Ruth’s Fried Salmon Patties
Tuesday, February 26th, 2008This is my mother’s recipe, and it is delicious. She makes these to take to covered dish dinners, and they are always snapped up immediately - not even any crumbs left to take home.
Ruth’s Fried Salmon Patties
2 eggs, beaten
salt/pepper to taste
1 Tablespoon dried onion flakes (or 1/2 small onion, chopped finely)
1 handful of cornmeal (1/4 cup)
1 handful of flour ( 1/4 cup)
1 large can of flaked salmon, drained
In a mixing bowl, add all ingredients except salmon. Mix well. Add the drained salmon and mix well. In a large frying pan add 1/4 inch of vegetable oil and heat. Use a large serving spoon to dip out a ball of batter and put it into the hot oil - flattening it into a circle. When it browns on one side turn it over and brown on the other side. Drain and blot on paper towerls.
