Ingredients
For the patties:
⅓ cup whole grain cornmeal
2 (6-ounce) cans boneless skinless salmon, drained
¾ cup corn (frozen, fresh, or canned)
½ cup plain Greek yogurt
1 jalapeño pepper, seeds removed and finely chopped
1 teaspoon seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay)
2 tablespoons olive oil
For the sauce:
½ cup plain Greek yogurt
juice of 1 lime
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro leaves
⅛ teaspoon seafood seasoning
Instructions
- Heat a medium skillet over medium heat.
- Pour the cornmeal onto a large plate and spread it into a thin layer.
- In a large mixing bowl, mix together the salmon, corn, yogurt, jalapeño, and seafood seasoning until the mixture is well combined. Use your hands to form the mixture into 6 small balls, roll the balls across the plate to coat them in the cornmeal, then flatten into patties (about 3 inches in diameter).
- Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in the skillet, and cook the patties undisturbed for 5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
- While the patties are cooking, make the yogurt sauce. Combine the Greek yogurt, lime juice, cilantro, and seafood seasoning in a small bowl and stir until combined.
- Serve the patties with the yogurt sauce.
