Caribbean-Style Fried Salmon Fritters

A salmon fritter recipe that my dad used to make on the occasional Sunday. It's adapted from fried Caribbean accras made from salted cod. I didn't have salted cod, so I substituted canned sockeye salmon, and it turned out awesome.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings

  • 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 (14.75 ounce) cans salmon, drained and flaked

  • 2 large eggs, or as needed

  • 1 cup water

  • ¼ cup vegetable oil for frying, or as needed

Directions

  1. Mix together flour, parsley, baking powder, salt, thyme, and cumin in a large bowl. Add chopped onion and jalapeño pepper; mix until incorporated. Add salmon and eggs; mash salmon and mix until combined. Add water and stir until a thick batter forms.

  2. Heat 1/4 inch oil in a frying pan just below the medium heat setting.

  3. Working in batches of 3, drop 1 tablespoonful scoops of batter per fritter into hot oil; fry until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat with remaining batter for about 16 fritters in total.
