Directions

  1. Mix flour, parsley, baking powder, salt, thyme, and cumin together in a large bowl. Add chopped onion and jalapeno pepper, mix again. Add eggs and salmon, mash salmon and mix until combined. Add water and stir into a very thick batter.

  2. Heat 1/4 inch oil in a frying pan just below the medium heat setting. Scoop up 1 tablespoon batter per fritter, drop carefully into the hot oil in batches of 3. Fry until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a dish lined with paper towels to drain. Repeat with remaining batter for about 16 fritters in total.

Recipe Note

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