Ingredients
Instructions
- Sift flour, baking powder, salt, pepper, and cornmeal into a mixing bowl.
- Add milk and beaten egg; beat until smooth.
- Remove skin and bones from salmon, flake with a fork, and sprinkle with lemon juice.
- Fold the salmon into the batter.
- Heat deep fat to 375°F (190°C).
- Fry tablespoons of the mixture a few at a time until golden brown, about 3 to 4 minutes.
- Drain on paper towels.
- Serve hot with asparagus sauce.
Tips & Substitutions
To enhance the flavor, consider adding fresh herbs like dill or parsley to the batter. If you don't have cornmeal, you can substitute with an equal amount of flour or breadcrumbs. For a lighter version, try using Greek yogurt instead of milk. Be careful not to overcrowd the frying pan to ensure even cooking.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the salmon fritters hot with a drizzle of the asparagus sauce for a delightful contrast. They pair well with a fresh salad or roasted vegetables for a complete meal. For an added seafood touch, consider serving alongside a small bowl of Dilled Shrimp Spread.
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 until heated through and crispy again. Avoid microwaving, as this can make them soggy.
