A few days ago, I was talking to my husband about how tired I sometimes get of eating meat. I told him that it seems as we get older, our bodies need more and more energy to process it, and that’s why I feel so heavy after eating.
This doesn’t mean I’m going to become a vegetarian, because I like to eat everything in moderation, but I do think it’s important to pay attention to how our bodies react to certain foods at certain times and act accordingly.
So, one of those days when I was fed up with meat, I made these canned salmon fritters, which turned out to be as delicious as they were easy. They practically don’t need a recipe, but since I have to write something here, I’ll tell you how I made them.

Ingredients
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Pink salmon (canned) | 1 can (418 grams) |
| Chopped garlic | 2 cloves |
| Chopped onion | ¼ cup |
| Chopped red bell pepper | ¼ cup |
| Chopped green bell pepper | ¼ cup |
| Eggs | 2 |
| Breadcrumbs or cornmeal | ½ cup |
| Salt and pepper | to taste |
| Corn flour (additional) | as needed |

Preparation
- Drain the salmon and remove the skin and bones. Place it in a bowl and flake it.
- Add the rest of the ingredients: garlic, onion, red and green bell pepper, the eggs and half a cup of breadcrumbs or cornmeal.
- Mix all the ingredients, take portions to make the small cakes and coat them in corn flour so that they absorb moisture and facilitate cooking, and also give them a crispy outer layer.
- Fry them in hot oil until golden brown on both sides; transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to remove excess oil. Serve and enjoy!
Grades (Notes)
- You can serve them with a sauce of your choice and accompany them with a green salad.
- For a gluten‑free version, incorporate corn flour to give consistency to the mixture.
