Instructions

6 steps

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
Add the minced onion, beaten egg, flour, salt, and black pepper, then fold gently until the mixture just holds together without overmixing.
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
Heat 1/4 inch of oil in a skillet over medium heat until shimmering, about 350°F.
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
Drain on paper towels and serve hot with grits, hot sauce, or a squeeze of lemon.
