Southern Salmon Patties

Instructions:

1. In a bowl, combine the flaked salmon, breadcrumbs (or crackers), beaten egg, chopped onion, bell pepper (if using), mayonnaise, mustard, garlic powder, paprika, salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Mix well until everything holds together.
2. Shape the mixture into 6–8 patties, about ½-inch thick.
3. Heat oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat.
4. Fry the patties for about 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
5. Remove from the skillet and place on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
6. Serve warm with tartar sauce, hot sauce, or a squeeze of fresh lemon.

Serving Ideas:

• Pair with coleslaw, cornbread, or mashed potatoes for a true Southern meal.
• Serve over a bed of greens for a lighter option.

Do you like yours extra crispy or more on the tender side? 😊
