Hey y'all! Thank you for stopping by
for another episode of How Do You Cook. Today we're going to be cooking Salmon patties. First thing we're going
to do is open up our can of Salmon. Okay, so that's done. So, we're gonna pop that
can open and what I'm going to do is I am going to put my Salmon in this bowl
right here with juice and all. That way I can go through my Salmon and
pick out all the bones...Because I don't eat bones in my Salmon. Okay, now I've washed
my hands really good before I started this. So, what you're gonna do is go through your salmon. I know it probably feels yucky! You see these
little bones right here? I want to try to get them out and then put, put the remaining of the
fish in the bowl and the other bowl for mixing. So, this piece right here doesn't show any
bones, so we're gonna put that in there. And we have few little baby bones, so
we're just going to put those in there. And that looks good. I mean it's okay if you have one or two or three of the little
tiny bones they're not gonna hurt you. Because there's really no way of getting all of
those out of your out of your salmon before you cook it. Okay, that looks good. That
looks good. Got that bone out. And got that out. And I'm only cooking one can of Salmon
because my husband and I are just here by ourselves so we don't
um need too much food. Okay. Looks good. And I'm trying to get all the bones
out. This is what you're going to be looking for. There's these big bones that are kind
of round and then you have these little bones like this. Can you see that? You see
those little bones? You want to get those out. Okay, so. Okay, we're almost finished
deboning our canned Salmon. Okay, try to get all the meat out as much
as you can because that's good stuff. All right. Okay. Looks like we got a lot of it
so, I'm gonna just put this over here. I'm gonna rinse my hands off. Okay, now the fun part. Here we go. We're gonna start mixing our items into our bowl. Okay, so what I'm gonna do is, I'm gonna add one egg. I have two eggs here, but I have one. I'm gonna start out with one egg. Now your egg is the glue that holds your Salmon
patties together. So, once you add everything and you feel like you need a little bit more liquid,
then you go ahead and put another egg in there. Okay, so, we added one egg now this is about a
1/4 of a small onion chopped, finely chopped. And then right here I have a half a cup of
cornmeal. I have a cup of cornmeal right here. But I'm only going to add a little bit at a
time so I'm just going to add about half of this. There we go. And I'm going to
include one tablespoon of flour. And now I'm gonna add salt and pepper. I wish I had some black pepper
on me I don't really have any. This peppercorn medley's
good but, it's uh, kind of uh, coarse. Okay, so, right now this is what we got
right now so, I basically added a 1/4 of a cup of cornmeal and one tablespoon of flour
a 1/4 of a cup no a fourth of a onion chopped, finely. So, now what we're gonna do, we're
gonna get our hands dirty and we're just gonna go in there. We've washed our hands, we're
good to go, and we're just going to start mixing. We're going to mix it all up. See that?
How that egg and that cornmeal and that flour and all that kind of
incorporate into each other? Yep, there you go. Just keep going. Okay. I like to make sure it's all in
there good. Now, I kind of feel like it might not be, I don't know if it's juicy enough. I might add one more egg. Gonna add one more
egg, just a tad bit more cornmeal, and I think I'm just gonna leave the one
tablespoon of flour for now a little bit more a little bit more salt and now we're gonna
go in here and we're gonna mix this up. One of the things I forgot to do, I forgot to
turn my stove on so, it could be preheating. Okay, it looks to be pretty mixed
up. Let me look at the consistency. Oh yeah, that holds really well together. So, I think
that looks good for now. I'm just gonna mix it a little bit more. Okay. Okay y'all, I'm gonna come
over here, and I'm gonna rinse my hands and I'll be right back. Since I didn't heat up my pan,
I'm gonna go ahead and get that started now. Here's my pan with my grease. I'm
gonna lift up my camera a little bit, so you can see what I'm doing.
I'm gonna go ahead and turn my stove on and let it to get heated
up. Now what I put in my pan, I put extra virgin Olive oil in my pan. Um, you don't have
to have extra virgin olive oil. You can use canola oil, vegetable oil. Um. you can use grease like um,
Crisco. Um, or really anything that, that you like. So, once my pan gets heated up, I'm gonna show
you how I make my patties and put them in and start cooking them. I'll be right back! Okay
guys, our grease is ready to go. See it's starting to smoke just a little bit, so, what we're
gonna do is we're just gonna turn it down just a little before we get our patties in there.
Okay? We're gonna turn it down to about a medium, just below a medium. So, this is how I'm going to
make my patties. I usually grab a little ball about, about this size. About a golf ball, maybe a little
bit bigger. And I kind of roll it around in my hand just a little, and then, I just start forming
a little ball. So, what I'm gonna do I'm gonna turn my oven down stove down a little bit more. So,
you want to have patties that are about this size. Okay, I'm gonna go ahead and put that one in here See? I've just put that one in the in the fryer. Excuse me going back and forth. I'm just uh, still
learning this camera and, um, all of its abilities and and such. So, okay, so what we're going
to do is we're going to continue making patties. Okay Let's kind of mush it together See, see how much one can will make? One can makes a lot of patties. So, if you're
going to feed a family of of four or five, I would suggest, um, using two cans, because kids will
eat these up. They like them! I know my children do. I haven't tried them on my grandbabies yet,
but time will tell whether or not they'll like it or not. We'll just tell them it's a chicken
patty or something and see what they do. Okay. Okay, I'm gonna get one more down
in there. Put that in the middle. I'm gonna rinse my hands. I'll be right back. Okay, y'all. Now, I want y'all to see these Salmon patties cooking. Oops! Sorry guys! I keep moving y'all
around. So, there they are...Salmon patties. So, you want them to cook about like this the
the salmon's already cooked anyway so you really don't have to cook it too long. Um, just
enough so it gets good and brown on both sides. Okay, all right. I want it they don't take
long, they take about five five to ten minutes. Maybe not even that long. It really
depends on how done you want them to be. And you don't want to touch them, you don't want to keep messing with them while they're cooking on
the bottom because you want that crust to form. Because if you don't get that
crust, they might try to start falling apart on you. And you
don't want that to happen. Okay, I need to quit messing with them. All
right, I'm just going to let them keep cooking. Okay y'all, I'm going to take a little break and once they get ready to start flipping
over, I'll come back. See you in a bit. Okay y'all, I'm back! It looks like that my Salmon
patties are ready to flip, so, if you can take your pan and they wiggle, and they actually move freely,
then your crust has formed and they are ready to flip. So, I want you to see, have a close-up
of what they look like cooking in the grease. Now what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna go
ahead and flip one for you and show you what it looks like on that side. Now, it's
a little bit tricky flipping the first one. So, there you go! That's what that looks
like. And you can normally see on the sides of your patty, like on the bottom right here
you can see where it might be a little bit cooked, you can normally see that when it's
ready to flip. So I'm gonna flip that one over. And I'm gonna flip this one. Whoops! That one didn't
want to flip for me. Okay, that one, flip this one. Okay, do y'all see how pretty
those are? Those are just so awesome! So pretty! I love them love! I love me good Salmon patty for supper! Okay, all right. So, these patties are just about
finished. You're just going to leave them for about another three to five minutes on the other side or
until it becomes a golden brown on the other side also. And then that's all really to
making salmon patties you just have to add your ingredients, mix them all together, fry
them up, and you're ready to eat. They are so good! They are lip smacking good y'all! Okay, I'll be back as soon as I'm ready
to take them off the grease. See in a bit. Okay guys, it is time to take the Salmon patties
out of the grease. Okay, see you want to be able to see the bottom, they're golden brown. So,
I'm just going to go ahead and get started and get these out. Okay, I have one more. Okay, got them, so there are those Salmon
patties. Don't they look delicious?! Oh my goodness! I cannot wait to
eat! Okay, so what I'm gonna do, I still have a couple more salmon patties
to make so, I'm gonna add a little bit more olive oil to my pan, or whatever you choose
to use. And I'm going to go ahead and pat my remaining Salmon mixture. Just go ahead and get that in there. I need to turn up the heat just a little bit to
get it going good again. Okay, here's the last one. Can you see how many patties that makes? That that
that whole can makes one two three four five six eight Salmon patties. Now I'm sure that's plenty
enough for two people to eat on and have leftovers. Now, I don't know if you like leftovers or
not but I love them! I love my leftovers! Actually, food tastes better the next day because of all the flavors. And all the, um, things that have been added to
your food has had a chance to mingle, and uh and prepare. Okay y'all, so there you go, there
you have it. Let me just pull myself back up here. Can y'all see me? Okay. So, that was the simple
way of cooking homemade Salmon patties, and I hope you enjoyed this video. If you did,
