Southern Fried Salmon patties were a regular on the dinner table when I was growing up. I suspect it was because canned salmon was fairly cheap and we didn’t have much money.
This recipe is very reminiscent of how my mother used to make them back in the day!
I can’t tell you how long I looked for this specific recipe! All the others I’ve seen called for breadcrumbs and no mayo. If this is not the recipe my mom used it is darned close.
They are extremely quick and easy and very moist when done. This dish is now in my monthly rotation along with pinto beans, stewed potatoes, and cornbread.
Just like my mom served so long ago!

Southern Fried Salmon Patties was a regular at our house when I was growing up.
- 1 14 3/4 ounce canned salmon
- 1/4 cup onion finely chopped
- 1/4 cup cornmeal
- 1/4 cup flour
- 1 egg
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
-
Open the salmon and drain thoroughly. Place the drained salmon in mixing bowl and flake evenly with a fork. Add the onion, corn meal, flour, mayonnaise, and egg. Stir until well blended.
-
Shape the mixture into patties about the size of an average burger or less.
-
Cook in oil in skillet over medium heat until browned on each sides. Turn once while frying.
The mayonnaise helps the patties hold their shape and keeps them from being too dry.
Enjoy!
