In a medium bowl whisk egg yolks together until light and thickened. Add salmon, flour, salt, pepper, lemon juice, lemon zest, and parsley to bowl and mix to incorporate.
In a separate bowl beat egg whites with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Fold into the salmon mixture.
Heat about 1 inch of oil in a skillet to 350ºF. Drop in tablespoons of the salmon mixture and fry until golden brown on both sides, about 2-4 minutes per side.
Remove from skillet and drain on paper towels. Serve.
Notes
Serve these fritters with cocktail sauce or even a lemon aioli.
We opted to use canned salmon for these fritters but you can always use fresh salmon as well.
Perfect Pairing
