Southern Fried Salmon Patties
My husband frequently asks me to make these.This recipe is one that his mom used to make and brings back fond memories of her cooking these in a cast-iron skillet at the lake. These salmon patties are delicious on their own, but I think they go best with her homemade Southern honey butter hamburger buns. The recipe for these is included below.
Ingredients
Salmon Patties
- 2 cans pink salmon (boneless, skinless, drained)
- 2 eggs
- ¼ cup dill pickle (minced)
- ¼ cup onion (chopped)
- 5 tbsp cornmeal
- ¼ cup Bisquick
- ½ tsp ground black pepper
Southern Honey Butter Hamburger Buns
- ¼ cup warm water
- 2¼ tsp yeast
- 1 tsp honey
- 1¾ cups milk
- ½ cup butter
- 2 large eggs
- 2 egg yolks
- ⅓ cup honey
- 6½ cups Bisquick
- ½ cup butter softened
- ¼ cup honey
Instructions
Salmon Patties
- Preheat a skillet over medium heat and add enough oil to cover the bottom. (I use vegetable oil)
- In a large mixing bowl, combine two cans of drained salmon and two eggs. Mix until well incorporated.
- Add one-quarter cup of minced dill pickle, one-quarter cup of chopped onion, five tablespoons of cornmeal, one-quarter cup of Bisquick, and one-half teaspoon of ground pepper. Make sure all the ingredients are mixed well (I use my hands for this step).
- Form the mixture into patties.
- Fry in preheated skillet for 5 minutes on each side, or until they reach the golden brown color you prefer.
- Place on paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Southern Honey Butter Hamburger Buns
- Grease two baking pans and set them aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, fitted with the dough hook, combine one-quarter cups of water, two and one-quarter teaspoons of yeast, and one teaspoon of honey. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, place one and three-quarter cups of milk and heat until foamy in the microwave. Remove and place one-half cup of butter into the milk, stirring until melted. Set the milk mixture aside to cool.
- In a separate bowl, beat two large eggs and two egg yolks together and mix into the milk. Add one-third cup of honey and stir until combined. Add to the yeast mixture.
- Alternately, add six and one-half cups of Bisquick, continuously mixing with the mixer until completely combined.
- Continue mixing (kneading) the dough for an extra five minutes. Remove and place into a large greased bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let stand 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Punch down the dough and place it on a lightly Bisquick floured surface. Divide into twenty-four pieces and roll each one until smooth. Place twelve rolled pieces into each prepared baking pan. Cover and let rise for one hour or until doubled in size.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Mix one-half cup softened butter and one-quarter cup of honey until completely incorporated.
- Bake rolls for twenty minutes or until very golden brown.
- Remove the buns from the oven and brush the tops with the honey butter.
- Serve and enjoy!
