Crispy Salmon Bites
Ingredients
  • 1 (15 ounce) can salmon, drained and liquid reserved
  • 1/3 cup chopped onion
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, or more as needed
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 cups shortening, or more as needed
  • 1/4 cup cornmeal, or as needed
Instructions
1
Combine salmon, finely chopped onion, and beaten egg in a bowl; whisk until well combined. Gradually incorporate flour into the mixture to form a cohesive blend. In another bowl, whisk together baking powder and 2 tablespoons of the reserved salmon's cooking liquid until smooth. Fold this mixture into the salmon blend, stirring until it forms a cohesive shape when molded. If the mixture is too loose, add additional flour; if it's too dense, add a little more of the reserved salmon liquid. Use your hands to shape the mixture into small patties.
2
Melt a moderate amount of shortening in a skillet over medium heat.
3
Dip each patty into a shallow bowl filled with cornmeal, pressing it firmly onto the surface to ensure an even coating on both sides.
4
Fry the patties in the hot shortening until they're golden brown, taking about 5 minutes per side. Transfer the patties to a paper towel-lined plate using a slotted spoon to drain excess oil.
