Form the patties: Shape the mixture into small patties—about 2–3 inches wide and ½ inch thick. You should get about 6–8 patties depending on size.

Fry ‘em up: Heat about 1/4 inch of oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the patties. Cook for 3–4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.

Drain and serve: Remove the patties from the pan and place them on paper towels to drain any excess oil. Serve hot!

What to Serve With Southern Salmon Patties

Salmon patties are the kind of dish that pairs beautifully with a variety of Southern sides. Here are some favorites:

Creamy grits or mashed potatoes
Collard greens or green beans
A slice of warm cornbread
Mac and cheese or coleslaw
Or go classic with just a dollop of hot sauce and a squeeze of lemon

Tips for Perfect Salmon Patties

Don’t overmix: Gently fold ingredients to keep the patties tender, not tough.
Use chilled mix: If your mixture feels too soft, chill it for 20 minutes before forming patties.
Crispier finish: Lightly coat patties in extra cornmeal or flour before frying for an extra crispy crust.
Leftovers? Reheat in a skillet or oven to keep them crispy—avoid the microwave if you can!
