In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.
In a separate smaller bowl, beat the egg and milk together until combined.
Slowly pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, whisking until a smooth batter forms.
Fold in the corn kernels, chopped chili, green onions, and fresh cilantro, mixing until evenly incorporated.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, drop 2 tablespoons of the batter per fritter into the skillet, leaving space between each one.
Cook the fritters for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels. Repeat with the remaining batter.
In a small bowl, mix the sour cream with the lemon juice. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper to taste.
To serve, arrange the fritters on a platter. Top each fritter with a slice of smoked salmon and a dollop of the sour cream dip. Garnish with optional extra cilantro or a squeeze of lemon juice, if desired.
