Ingredients

• 200 grams canned salmon
• 150 grams corn kernels (fresh, canned, or frozen)
• 120 grams all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 2 large eggs
• 60 milliliters milk
• 2 green onions (finely chopped)
• 1 tablespoon fresh dill (chopped)
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 3 tablespoons olive oil (for frying)
• 4 lemon wedges (for serving)
• 120 grams sour cream or Greek yogurt (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Drain the canned salmon and place it in a large mixing bowl. Use a fork to flake it into small pieces.

Step 2

If using frozen corn, thaw it beforehand. Add the corn kernels to the mixing bowl with the salmon.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and baking powder. Stir well to evenly distribute the baking powder.

Step 4

Add the flour mixture to the salmon and corn, then mix gently to coat the salmon and corn in the dry ingredients.

Step 5

In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until smooth. Pour this wet mixture into the salmon mixture and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Fold in the chopped green onions, fresh dill, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 7

Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, spoon 2 tablespoons of the batter for each fritter into the pan, pressing lightly to flatten.

Step 8

Cook the fritters for 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown and crispy. Work in batches if necessary, adding more olive oil as needed.

Step 9

Transfer the cooked fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Step 10

Serve the fritters warm with lemon wedges on the side and a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt, if desired.
