Servings: 16
Ingredients
- 2 cups flaked salmon You can either bake a fillet at 400 degrees for about 7 minutes. Let it cool and flake, or you can open a can of canned salmon. Make sure if you use canned salmon to drain really well.
- 4 eggs, separated
- 3 tablespoons all purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon dill weed
- 1 teaspoon parsley, fried or fresh chopped
- canola oil, or oil of choice for frying. You will need enough to give you about 1 ½ inches in whatever pan you are frying in.
Instructions
- Start heating oil in heavy bottom pan. You want it to be hot and ready by the time you are done mixing ingredients. I like my oil to be about 370-375 degrees for frying.Now, here is one thing about frying- as long as your oil is nice and hot, oil absorption into your food is minimal. The cooler the oil, the more it will absorb into your food, yuck!
- Add salmon, egg yolks, flour and spices to medium sized bowl. Mix well.
- In another bowl, beat egg whites to stiff peaks.
- Gently fold the egg whites into the salmon mixture. Now, it is ready to fry!
- Drop carefully by spoonfuls into the hot oil. Fry, turning occasionally until the salmon fritters are golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon, draining. Place on a paper towel lined plate to absorb the rest of the oil.
- Now, sit back and enjoy. You deserve it!
