This recipe was originally taken from Christine’s Pantry. She called them Salmon Balls but that just plain sounds dirty so I renamed them Salmon Bites and served them with a wonderful homemade dill yogurt dipping sauce. My wife and I scarfed all of them down in one sitting with just a tiny bit of guilt.
Ingredients
Few Ingredients
- 14 oz can salmon – drained
- 1 egg - beaten
- 1/4 cup cornmeal
- salt and fresh ground black pepper – to taste
- canola oil, for frying
Everyone In
Add all of the ingredients except canola oil to a and mix thoroughly.
Heat the Oil
Add canola oil to a high sided frying pan, roughly 1/4 inch to cover 1/2 of your salmon bites. Heat over medium high heat.
In the Bath
Form salmon bites into golf ball sized balls. Squeeze so they hold their shape and add to hot oil.
Flip
Cook for 2-3 minutes until the first half is golden brown. Flip so the uncooked side goes back into the oil.
Drain
Remove golden bites from the hot oil with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel lined plate. Season with additional salt if desired.
Drizzle
Serve while hot drizzled with a little dill yogurt sauce. Be sure to serve with a nice salad in order not to feel so bad about eating this fried goodness.

I’m glad you all enjoyed. You said, “salmon balls sound dirty”. LOL
I used leftover oven-poached salmon and had to adapt a little; added a couple tablespoons mayo until it would form a ball.
They taste great! and the yogurt-dill sauce is perfect.
