Ingredients
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 1 can | Pink salmon |
| 1 | Egg |
| 1/4 cup | All-purpose flour |
| 1/2 tsp | Salt |
| 1/2 tsp | Black pepper |
| 1/4 cup | Grits |
| 1/2 cup | Cornmeal |
| 1/2 tsp | Baking powder |
| 1/3 cup | Onion (finely chopped) |
Instructions
- Begin by emptying the entire contents of the salmon can into a mixing bowl, ensuring you include all the juice for added flavor.
- Add the egg, all-purpose flour, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Stir these ingredients together until well combined.
- Incorporate the grits and cornmeal into the mixture, blending thoroughly until the mixture is medium dry and holds together nicely.
- Sprinkle in the baking powder and give the mixture another good mix to ensure everything is evenly distributed.
- Form the mixture into 8 evenly-sized patties, taking care to shape them gently to maintain their texture.
- In a thick-bottomed frying pan (Emaw prefers cast iron), pour about 1 inch of oil and heat it to a medium-hot temperature.
- Carefully place the patties in the hot oil, frying them until they achieve a beautiful golden brown color on both sides, which typically takes about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Once cooked, drain the patties on paper towels to remove any excess oil, ensuring they remain crispy.
- Serve warm with a side of homemade tartar sauce for a delightful finishing touch.
