Deep Fried Salmon Fritters Recipes

CARIBBEAN-STYLE FRIED SALMON FRITTERS

Steps:

• 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.
• 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.

PAN-FRIED SALMON CAKES

Steps:

• Break pretzels into pieces; pulse in a food processor until finely ground. (You should have 1/2 cup.)
• In a medium bowl, combine mayonnaise, egg, dill, scallions, and lemon zest. Fold in ground pretzels and salmon until just combined. Cover and refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes. Using a 1/4 cup measure, form mixture into 8 cakes, each about 1/2 inch thick.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high. Add 1 tablespoon oil. Cook 4 cakes, flipping once, until golden brown and crisp, about 3 minutes a side. Repeat with remaining oil and cakes. Sprinkle with dill and serve, with lemon wedges.

BRASILIAN DEEP FRIED FISH FRITTERS: BOLINOS DE BACALHAU

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C.)
• Cook the haddock with the milk and bay leaves, in a tray covered with foil, for 15 minutes.
• Cook the potatoes in boiling salted water for about 15 minutes until soft. Drain them, then dry out in the pan on the heat and mash.
• Flake the cooked fish into a large bowl, picking out any bones. Add the mashed potato, finely chopped parsley and mint, lemon zest, eggs, chile and salt and pepper. Mix well, taste. Add more salt, if necessary.
• Flour your work surface, then take 1 tablespoon of the mix in your hands with a little flour and make into torpedo-shaped fritters, rolling in the flour. Rough and ready is good.
• Pour enough oil into a large heavy-bottomed saucepan to fill the pan about a 1/3 of the way up. Heat over a medium heat until a deep frying thermometer inserted into the oil reaches 360 degrees F. (If you don't have a thermometer, a cube of bread will brown in about 3 minutes.) Deep-fry the fritters for about 5 minutes until brown and crispy. Drain on kitchen towel, sprinkle with sea salt and serve on a large plate with lots of lemon halves.

SALMON RICE FRITTERS

Steps:

• Bring 4 cups of water to boil and add rice and 2 teaspoons salt to the water. Return to a boil, reduce heat, cover and let cook without removing cover, for 20 minutes. Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes.
• While the rice is cooking, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium-high heat in a large saute pan and saute the onion until it begins to turn translucent. Season salmon fillets with salt and pepper and sear each side, beginning the skin side first, leaving each side undisturbed for the first 2 minutes or so to allow the flavors to integrate into the surface of the fish and for the caramelization process to begin. Cook further until the fish flakes, approximately another 6 to 8 minutes, remove from heat and let rest.
• Heat oil in deep fryer to 375 degrees F or according to the manufacturer's directions for similar food.
• Mix rice, crab boil seasoning, mayonnaise, parsley and lemon juice. Fold in flaked salmon and form into 3/4-inch diameter "cocktail size" balls.
• To make tempura, mix flour, cornstarch, baking powder, chopped chives in a bowl and add seltzer in a stream while whisking constantly. Season with salt and pepper. Place salmon balls on a slotted spoon and, holding over the bowl, ladle some tempura batter over each. Transfer to the deep-fryer basket and fry until golden.
• Combine all the Dipping Sauce ingredients and serve with the fritters.
