Adirondack Salmon and Shrimp Patties
From My Adirondack Way of Cooking by Musky Bob
2 6†Salmon fillets (diced)
1 ½ Cup of cooked & peeled shrimp (diced)
1 Diced stalk of celery
3/4 Cup of diced white onion
2 small eggs
½ Cup of real mayonaise
2 Tsp. of Old Bay Seasoning
1 Tsp. garlic powder
¼ Tsp. chili powder
season with salt & pepper as you like it
Italian Bread crumbs
Corn meal
Peanut Oil
Paper Towel
Wax Paper
Aluminum Foil
Frying Pan
Large Bowl & Shallow Bowl
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
In a LARGE bowl combine the first 9 ingrediants + ½ cup of bread crumbs and season as you like it.
Mix well with your hand. Add more bread crumbs if it feels too mushy to make patties.
Scoop out and make 8 palm size patties & put them on the wax paper.
Pour out enough peanut oil in the frying pan so it’s ¼ inch deep & turn heat on med. high
In a Shallow bowl make a 50/50 mixture of bread crumbs & corn meal.
Dip patties one by one in mixture & cover top, bottom, & sides & place in hot oil. I do 4 at a time.
Fry till golden brown on top & bottom, remove, place on paper towel, & do the other 4.
Open oven and put a cookie sheet size of aluminum foil on the rack. Place patties on the foil and bake for 20 minutes.
I serve with Ken’s Cocktail Sauce, whole kernel corn, & potato puffs.
Enjoy!!!
A nice variation to this is instead of patties, to make balls out of it. Roll up into 1 inch size balls, place on wax paper on a cookie sheet after doing the coating. Place in freezer overnight, then bag up till when you want them. Use a deep fryer when ready for them & fry till golden brown. They make excellent snacks for on the boat, if they make it that far. I usually make these & serve with a toothpick & horseradish cocktail sauce. Very good either hot or cold.
