Salmonelle'S
Salmonelle'S are crispy, savory salmon fritters with a tender interior, featuring a delightful combination of flaky salmon and light batter. Perfect as an appetizer or snack, they appeal to seafood lovers and those seeking quick, flavorful bites with a hint of crunch and richness.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Drain the salmon and reserve 1/4 cup of the liquid.
- Break apart the salmon into a bowl and add the beaten egg and flour, mixing well.
- Add the baking powder to the reserved liquid and beat until foamy.
- Pour the foamy baking powder mixture into the salmon mixture and stir until blended.
- Drop teaspoonfuls of the mixture into hot oil and fry until golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter version, consider using whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour. To enhance the flavor, add chopped herbs like dill or parsley to the mixture. If you prefer a crispy texture, chill the mixture for 30 minutes before frying. This recipe is versatile; feel free to use canned tuna as a substitute for salmon. It can be a great addition to your collection of seafood recipes.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these delicious salmonelle's with a side of tartar sauce or a fresh green salad. They pair beautifully with a squeeze of lemon juice for added brightness. Consider serving them alongside a refreshing cucumber salad or as part of a seafood platter featuring Mim'S Seafood Bisque for a delightful meal.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes until warmed through. Avoid microwaving, as it may make the salmonelle's soggy and less appealing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh salmon instead of canned?
Yes, you can use fresh salmon. Just ensure it is cooked and flaked before mixing it with the other ingredients. Fresh salmon will provide a different texture and flavor, making it a great alternative for this recipe.
How do I know when the salmonelle's are done frying?
Fry the salmonelle's until they are golden brown, typically about 3-4 minutes per side. You can also test them by inserting a toothpick; it should come out clean when they are fully cooked.
Can I freeze the salmonelle's?
Freezing is possible, but it's best to freeze them uncooked. Form the mixture into balls, place them on a baking sheet to freeze individually, then transfer to a freezer bag. When ready to cook, fry them directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.
