Instructions

  1. 1

    Drain the canned salmon well, then flake it into a large bowl, removing any large bones and bits of skin as you go.

  2. 2

    Add the minced onion, beaten egg, flour, salt, and black pepper, then fold gently until the mixture just holds together without overmixing.

  3. 3

    Shape the mixture into 8 evenly sized patties about 1/2 inch thick, then dredge each one in the cornmeal to coat both sides.

  4. 4

    Heat 1/4 inch of oil in a skillet over medium heat until shimmering, about 350°F.

  5. 5

    Fry the croquettes in batches for 3-4 minutes per side until deeply golden and crisp, taking care not to crowd the pan.

  6. 6

    Drain on paper towels and serve hot with grits, hot sauce, or a squeeze of lemon.
