Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams canned salmon
- 150 grams corn kernels (fresh, canned, or frozen)
- 120 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 large eggs
- 60 milliliters milk
- 2 green onions (finely chopped)
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 tablespoons olive oil (for frying)
- 4 lemon wedges (for serving)
- 120 grams sour cream or Greek yogurt (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Drain the canned salmon and place it in a large mixing bowl. Use a fork to flake it into small pieces.
If using frozen corn, thaw it beforehand. Add the corn kernels to the mixing bowl with the salmon.
In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and baking powder. Stir well to evenly distribute the baking powder.
Add the flour mixture to the salmon and corn, then mix gently to coat the salmon and corn in the dry ingredients.
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until smooth. Pour this wet mixture into the salmon mixture and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the chopped green onions, fresh dill, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, spoon 2 tablespoons of the batter for each fritter into the pan, pressing lightly to flatten.
Cook the fritters for 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown and crispy. Work in batches if necessary, adding more olive oil as needed.
Transfer the cooked fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve the fritters warm with lemon wedges on the side and a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt, if desired.
