Fried seasoned salmon balls make a great easy entree, or serve them as an appetizer.
INGREDIENTS (for 6 servings):
- 2 (14.75 ounce) cans salmon, drained and flaked
- 2 cups crushed cornflakes cereal
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 quart oil for frying
PREPARATION:
In a medium bowl, mix salmon, crushed cornflakes, and onion. Blend in the eggs. Season with basil, oregano, and thyme. Form the mixture into 1 inch balls. Roll in flour to lightly coat.
Heat oil in a large, heavy skillet or deep fryer to approximately 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). In batches, fry the salmon balls for about 15 minutes, until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
