SIMPLE SALMON PATTIES RECIPE (HOW TO MAKE SALMON PATTIES)

Steps:

• First, remove the skin from your salmon and discard. Then, place salmon into a large bowl and use a spoon to break the salmon up into small shredded chunks.
• Next, add the breadcrumbs, bell pepper, white onion, parsley, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, paprika, egg, mayo, tabasco, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the bowl.
• Using a spoon or hands, mix all of the ingredients together until the ingredients stick together and form a ball. Form the salmon patties by using a 1/3 cup scoop and make 10-12 small balls out of the salmon mixture. After all the balls are formed, carefully make patties out of each ball by gently patting them down between your hands. Set them on a plate and repeat until all the patties are made.
• Next, heat a large skillet over medium/high heat. Add one tablespoon of olive oil to the pan. When the olive oil is fragrant, add 3-4 patties to the pan (if there is room) and cook them for 2-3 minutes on each side or until the salmon patties brown. Remove from heat. Add another tablespoon of olive oil and repeat until all the patties are cooked.
• Enjoy them alone, on top of a salad, or get creative!

SALMON PATTIES (HINTS FROM HELOISE)

Steps:

• Half fill a deep fryer or skillet with oil. Preheat while you are mixing the salmonettes. Drain all but 1/4 cup liquid off the canned salmon and set it aside. Put the salmon in a mixing bowl and break it apart with a fork until you have no big flakes. Add the flour and egg. Blend with a spoon until all of the flour is mixed in, don't overmix.
• Add the baking powder to the liquid that was set aside and beat with a fork or whisk until frothy. Immediately pour this into the salmon mixture and stir until well blended. It is important not to let the baking powder and liquid mixture sit after mixing. Pour it immediately.
• Drop the mixture by spoonfuls (small bite sized balls are the best) into the hot oil. They will brown very quickly-about 5-7 minutes. Lift them out with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel.
