Easy Salmon Patties Recipe

Mix salmon onion and egg together in a bowl; stir in flour. Stir baking powder and 2 tablespoons reserved salmon liquid together in a separate bowl; stir into salmon mixture until mixture holds together when shaped. Add more flour if mixture is too soft. Add more reserved salmon liquid if mixture is too firm. Shape salmon mixture into small patties.

Heat shortening in a skillet over medium heat.

Spread cornmeal into a shallow bowl and press patties into cornmeal until evenly coated on both sides.

Fry patties in the hot shortening until golden brown about 5 minutes per side. Transfer patties to a paper towel-lined plate using a slotted spoon.
