Caribbean-Style Fried Salmon Fritters Recipe

Directions

Ingredients :

2 cups whole wheat flour

1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

2 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon ground thyme

1 pinch ground cumin

1 medium onion, finely chopped

1 jalapeno pepper, finely chopped

2 eggs, or as needed

2 (14.75 ounce) cans salmon, drained and flaked

1 cup water

vegetable oil for frying

Methods :

Step 1

Mix flour, parsley, baking powder, salt, thyme, and cumin together in a large bowl. Add chopped onion and jalapeno pepper; mix again. Add eggs and salmon; mash salmon and mix until combined. Add water and stir into a very thick batter.

Step 2

Heat 1/4 inch oil in a frying pan just below the medium heat setting. Scoop up 1 tablespoon batter per fritter; drop carefully into the hot oil in batches of 3. Fry until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a dish lined with paper towels to drain. Repeat with remaining batter for about 16 fritters in total.
