Salmon Patties

Salmon Patties

1 (15 oz.) can salmon, reserve liquid

1 egg

1 small onion, diced very fine

1/2 C flour

1 1/2 tsp baking powder

Lemon pepper to taste  

Oil as needed

Drain the salmon, reserving 2 Tbsp of the liquid in a small bowl, remove any skin and bones. 

In a separate bowl, combine salmon, egg, and onion. Stir in the flour and lemon pepper seasoning. Stir the baking powder into the reserved salmon liquid. It will fizz up. Add the fizzed liquid to the salmon mixture and stir until just combined. Add a small amount of oil to a skillet and heat over medium heat. Form into 6 patties and place into skillet. Brown one side about 4 minutes and then turn, frying until other side is brown about 4 minutes.
