Ingredients:
1 (12 oz) can pink salmon
2 whole eggs
1/4 cup chopped onions
1/4 cup chopped bell pepper
2 tablespoons yellow cornmeal
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon hot sauce (e.g., Texas Pete)
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 slice white bread, crumbled
1/4 cup flour (added slowly, as needed to adjust consistency)
Instructions:
Prepare the Salmon:
Open the can of salmon and drain it using a colander. Remove any large bones if desired, though they are edible.
Flake the salmon with a fork and place it in a large mixing bowl.
Combine Ingredients:
Add the eggs, chopped onions, and bell peppers to the bowl with the salmon.
Mix in the cornmeal, salt, garlic powder, mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, and black pepper.
Crumble the slice of white bread into the mixture.
Adjust Consistency:
Gently mix all the ingredients together, being careful not to overwork the mixture.
If the mixture is too moist, gradually add flour until the desired consistency is reached.
Shape Patties:
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape them into patties.
Fry the Patties:
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add shortening or oil for frying.
Place the patties in the skillet and cook until the bottom is browned, then carefully turn them over to brown the other side.
Serve:
Once both sides are browned and the patties are cooked through, remove them from the skillet and drain on paper towels.
Serve warm and enjoy!
