Growing up, I had a favorite aunt. Aunt Amanda was her name, and she was a fantastic cook. Her house was always hot, even in the dead of summer, because she had one of those ancient wood cookstoves.Although I eventually developed a taste for fish, I never seemed to appreciate it as a child. She would invite us over whenever she made these salmon patties, as she knew how much I enjoyed them. These are so delicious! I serve these with a side of homemade coleslaw and sweet potato fries.
Mix one can of salmon, two tablespoons of chopped onion, and a pinch of pepper in a bowl.
Add one large egg, one tablespoon of buttermilk, two tablespoons of cornmeal, and four tablespoons of Bisquick. Mix until well combined.
In a cast-iron skillet, over medium heat, heat enough vegetable oil to cover the bottom and drop tablespoons of the salmon mixture. Press down with a spatula to form a patty shape.
Fry on each side until golden brown and place them on a paper towel to drain.
