Ingredients

For the patties:

1/3 cup whole grain cornmeal

2 (6-ounce) cans boneless skinless salmon, drained

3/4 cup corn (frozen, fresh, or canned)

1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt

1 jalapeƱo pepper, seeds removed and finely chopped

1 teaspoon seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay) 

2 tablespoons olive oil

 

For the sauce:

1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt

juice of 1 lime

1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro leaves

1/8 teaspoon seafood seasoning

Instructions

  1. Heat a medium skillet over medium heat.
  2. Pour the cornmeal onto a large plate and spread it into a thin layer.  
  3. In a large mixing bowl, mix together the salmon, corn, yogurt, jalapeƱo, 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).
  4. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in the skillet, and cook the patties undisturbed for 5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. 
  5. 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.
  6. Serve the patties with the yogurt sauce.
