Caribbean-Style Fried Salmon Fritters

Caribbean-Style Fried Salmon Fritters

A salmon fritter recipe that my dad used to make on the occasional Sunday. It’s adapted from fried Caribbean accras made from salted cod. I didn’t have salted cod, so I substituted canned sockeye salmon, and it turned out awesome.
