Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix all ingredients except the beaten egg whites in a bowl until well combined.
- Gently fold in the beaten egg whites into the mixture.
- Heat a greased pan over medium heat.
- Spoon the batter into the pan by tablespoonfuls and flatten slightly.
- Fry until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Remove and drain on paper towels before serving.
Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter texture, ensure the egg whites are beaten to stiff peaks before folding them into the mixture. You can substitute the canned salmon with cooked tuna for a different flavor, which pairs beautifully with Tuna Salad On Lettuce Leaves. If you prefer a bit of spice, add chopped jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the batter.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the salmon and corn fritters warm, garnished with a dollop of sour cream or a squeeze of lemon. They pair perfectly with a fresh salad, such as Jean'S Shrimp Salad, or can be enjoyed as a light appetizer. Consider serving with a tangy dipping sauce for extra flavor.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover fritters in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes or until heated through. This method keeps them crisp without losing texture.
