Ingredients
- 2 5-ounce cans salmon, drained
- 8.5 ounce box of Jiffy corn muffin mix (or 1 ½ cups of any dairy-free corn muffin mix)
- 15.25 ounce can corn, drained
- 1/4 cup powdered egg (or egg protein powder, or 1 large fresh egg*)
- 1/4 cup water* (skip if using fresh egg)
- 1/4 cup applesauce*
- 6 tbsp canola oil, divided (or any other oil of choice)
Instructions
-
In a large bowl, mix together the salmon, corn muffin mix, corn, powdered egg, water, and applesauce.
-
To cook, work in batches. Start by heating 2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Scoop in a little of the batter, pressing down to form a small patty. Repeat, filling the pan with 4 to 5 patties.
-
Let cook for about 2-3 minutes, then flip and continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes on the other side, until the patties are all crisp on the outside.
-
Repeat with the remaining two batches, adding extra oil for each batch, until all the salmon corn cakes are done.
Recipe Notes
Notes:
- This recipe was developed to help give ideas for those using only shelf-stable ingredients. If you have regular eggs, simply skip the powdered egg and water, and use a regular egg in this mixture.
- You can also substitute out the applesauce for mayonnaise in this mixture if you have that on hand.
- If you don’t have oil to fry these, you can try scooping the mixture into a muffin tin and baking them instead.
