Salmon Patties, Southern Style

Category: Main Dish

1 (14 3/4 ounce) canned salmon
1/4 cup onion , finely chopped (or grated)
1/4 cup cornmeal
1/4 cup flour
1 egg
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt free lemon pepper or Old Bay seasoning.
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt

Directions:
Open salmon and drain thoroughly.
Place drained salmon in mixing bowl and flake evenly with a fork.Add onion, corn meal, flour, mayonnaise,spices and egg. Stir until well blended.
Shape the mixture into patties about the size of an average burger or less.Cook in a little oil in skillet over medium heat until browned on each side.(can mix butter with oil for richer taste) Turn once while frying.

The mayonnaise helps the patties hold their shape and keeps them from being to dry.

Sometimes I add a little dry dill if I do not use lemon pepper.
