Caribbean-Style Fried Salmon Fritters image

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

A popular Jamaican appetizer. Just stamp them out in the kitchen, take some for the road and go! Saltcod can be prepared the day before for a quicker cook time. These are also good served with a spicy dipping sauce.

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder

Tips:

For a crispier fritter, ensure the salmon is well-coated in the breadcrumb mixture before frying.
To prevent the fritters from becoming too oily, drain them on paper towels after frying.
Serve the fritters immediately, while they are still hot and crispy.
You can use any type of breadcrumb in this recipe, but panko breadcrumbs will give you the crispiest result.
If you don't have any fresh herbs on hand, you can use 1 teaspoon of dried herbs instead.
Feel free to adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to your liking. If you prefer a milder flavor, use less cayenne pepper or omit it altogether.
