SOUTHERN FRIED SALMON PATTIES

Ingredients:

• 1 can (12 oz.) Pink Salmon
• 2 whole Eggs
• 1/4 cup chopped Onions
• 1/4 cup chopped Bell Pepper
• 2 tablespoons Yellow Corn Meal
• 1/2 teaspoon Salt
• 1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
• 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce
• 1 teaspoon Texas Pete Hot Sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
• 1 slice White Bread, crumbled
• 1/4 cup Flour (added gradually to adjust consistency)

Instructions:

1. Open the canned Salmon and place it in a colander in the sink to drain. Remove any large bones if not desired, although they are edible.
2. Flake the drained salmon using a fork and place it into a large mixing bowl.
3. Add the whole Eggs, chopped Onions, chopped Bell Peppers, Corn Meal, Salt, Garlic Powder, Mayonnaise, Worcestershire Sauce, Texas Pete Hot Sauce, Ground Black Pepper, and the crumbled slice of bread into the bowl with the salmon.
4. Gently mix all the ingredients together without overworking. If the mixture is very moist, gradually add flour to adjust its consistency.
5. Divide and shape the mixture into four patties, then set them aside.
6. Heat a skillet to medium heat and add shortening or oil for frying.
7. Place the patties in the skillet, allowing the bottom to brown. Carefully flip the patties over to brown the other side.
8. Once browned on both sides, remove the patties from the skillet and drain them on a paper towel.
9. Serve the salmon patties while warm. Enjoy your homemade meal!
