Southern Fried Salmon Patties are a classic comfort food that brings together the rich, flaky goodness of salmon with the warm,
crispy textures of traditional southern cooking. These patties are a delightful blend of fresh or canned salmon, finely chopped onions,
savory herbs, and seasonings, all bound together with breadcrumbs or crushed crackers and eggs to create a flavorful mixture. Once formed into patties,
they’re lightly coated in additional breadcrumbs or flour for an extra-crispy exterior, then pan-fried to golden perfection in a hot skillet with a touch of oil.
