A salmon fritter recipe that my dad used to make on the occasional Sunday. It's adapted from fried Caribbean accras made from salted cod. I didn't have salted cod, so I substituted canned sockeye salmon, and it turned out awesome.

Ingredients

2 cups whole wheat flour
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground thyme
1 pinch ground cumin
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 jalapeno pepper, finely chopped
2 (14.75 ounce) cans salmon, drained and flaked
2 large eggs, or as needed
1 cup water
¼ cup vegetable oil for frying, or as needed

Directions

Mix together flour, parsley, baking powder, salt, thyme, and cumin in a large bowl. Add chopped onion and jalapeño pepper; mix until incorporated. Add salmon and eggs; mash salmon and mix until combined. Add water and stir until a thick batter forms.
Heat 1/4 inch oil in a frying pan just below the medium heat setting.
Working in batches of 3, drop 1 tablespoonful scoops of batter per fritter into hot oil; fry until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat with remaining batter for about 16 fritters in total.
