How to Make Salmon Puffs

  1. Heat 1 inch of oil in a deep fryer or deep, heavy saucepan to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Gently flake 1 (14.75 ounce) can of salmon with a fork in a medium bowl, removing any bones.
  3. Add 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1 large egg, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper to the salmon.
  4. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
  5. In a separate small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup milk and 1 teaspoon baking powder until foamy.
  6. Pour the milk mixture into the salmon mixture and gently stir until just blended. Do not overmix.
  7. Using two teaspoons, carefully drop rounded spoonfuls of the salmon mixture into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
  8. Fry the puffs for 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. They will float to the surface when ready.
  9. Remove the puffs from the oil with a slotted spoon and place them on a wire rack or paper towels to drain excess oil.
  10. Serve immediately with your favorite tartar sauce or cocktail sauce. Enjoy!
