This classic dish is beloved for its delightful crunch and savory flavor, making it a staple in many households across the southern United States.
Ingredients
Scale:
2 (14.75 oz) cans of salmon, drained and flaked
1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably seasoned)
½ cup finely chopped onion
½ cup celery, finely chopped
2 large eggs, beaten
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon black pepper
Salt to taste
Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained and flaked salmon with breadcrumbs, chopped onion, and celery.
Stir in the beaten eggs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt. Mix well until everything is thoroughly combined.
Using your hands, shape the mixture into patties about 3 inches wide and ½ inch thick.
In a large skillet, pour enough vegetable oil to cover the bottom of the pan (about ¼ inch deep) and heat over medium-high heat.
Carefully place the patties in the hot oil. Fry them in batches if necessary for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
Once cooked, transfer the patties to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Enjoy your Southern Fried Salmon Patties hot, paired with your favorite dipping sauce or a simple squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
