Crispy Southern salmon croquettes made with canned or cooked salmon, cornmeal, peppers, onion, and a fresh herb twist. Easy weeknight salmon patties that freeze and reheat beautifully.
In a large bowl whisk together the ½ cup flour and ¼ cup yellow cornmeal.
Add the 15 ounces canned salmon*, minced 1 red bell pepper, minced ½ cup sweet onion, 1 large egg, 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, ½ teaspoon seasoned salt, ¼ teaspoon pepper, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ¼ cup mayonnaise and chopped ¼ cup cilantro Mix until well combined. If time allows, let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes.
Shape into about 6-8 patties. If time allows, chill for 10-20 minutes before frying.
Add just enough neutral for frying to coat the bottom of the pan (not so much that you are deep frying). Heat over medium-high heat.
Once skillet is hot cook patties for 2-3 minutes on each side or until they are a golden brown color and register at 165°F in the center.
Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
