Ingredients

1 egg
2 - 6 oz cans pink salmon drained
¼ c cornmeal gluten free
2 tablespoon Greek yogurt unsweetened
2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
⅛ teaspoon cayenne powder
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper
oil or butter for frying

Instructions

Heat a pan with oil or butter over medium heat. Add all the ingredients, except the oil to a bowl. Mix well with a fork, lightly mashing the salmon as you mix to create a batter.
Shape the salmon mixture into 6 evenly formed patties, about ½" thick and 2"-3" in diameter.
Transfer these to the hot pan and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side. They should be slightly darker than golden brown.
Remove from the pan and let rest on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess moisture. Enjoy!
