Ingredients

  • 14 oz. can salmon
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 1 heaping teaspoon baking powder

Instructions

  1. Drain the salmon and reserve 1/4 cup of the liquid.
  2. Break apart the salmon into a bowl and add the beaten egg and flour, mixing well.
  3. Add the baking powder to the reserved liquid and beat until foamy.
  4. Pour the foamy baking powder mixture into the salmon mixture and stir until blended.

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.
