Southern Fried Salmon Patties was a regular at our house when I was growing up.
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.
