Canned salmon makes delicious and elegant patties for a Sunday brunch or supper, but fresh cooked — or even leftover — fish will work just as well! One local Low country favorite is Mullet. This recipe is courtesy Michiel Perry, founder of Black Southern Belle.
Ingredients
2 (15-ounce) cans salmon, drained and bones removed
2 large eggs
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup finely chopped scallions
1/4 cup saltine cracker crumbs
3 tsp. Old Bay Seasoning
1/4 cup canola oil, for frying
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
Chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley and lemon wedges, for serving
Directions
Step 1
Stir together salmon, eggs, mayonnaise, scallions, cracker crumbs, and Old Bay in a bowl.
Divide into 8 2 1/2-inch patties.
Note: While the bones in canned salmon are edible, some find the texture unpleasant. To remove them, transfer the salmon to a bowl and use your hands to pick through the meat, discarding any.
Step 2
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place flour in a shallow bowl.
Coat patties in flour.
Fry, in batches, turning once, until golden brown and warmed through, 4 to 6 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to drain.
Step 3
Serve topped with parsley with lemon wedges alongside.
