Ingredients
- 1 (15-ounce) can salmon, undrained
- 1 egg
- 1 sleeve saltine crackers, crushed
- ¾ cup cooking oil (canola oil recommended)
Instructions
- Heat the Oil: Heat the cooking oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Prepare the Salmon Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the canned salmon (with its liquid), egg, and crushed saltine crackers. Use your hands to mix the ingredients together until well combined.
- Shape the Patties: Shape the salmon mixture into patties. You should be able to make about 6 patties, depending on size preference.
- Cook the Patties: Carefully place the patties in the hot oil. Cook until golden brown on both sides, about 3–4 minutes per side. Once golden, reduce the heat to low and continue to cook for an additional 20 minutes, flipping occasionally, until the patties are crispy and well-browned.
- Serve: Remove the patties from heat and serve warm with your favorite sides, like mashed potatoes, coleslaw, or a simple salad.
Notes
- For extra flavor, feel free to add seasonings such as garlic powder, onion powder, or fresh herbs to the salmon mixture.
- If you prefer, you can swap the saltine crackers for breadcrumbs or crushed cornflakes.
- Serve with a tangy dipping sauce or tartar sauce for an added touch.
