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.

👨‍🍳 Instructions

Mix flour, parsley, baking powder, salt, thyme, and cumin together in a large bowl.

Add chopped onion and jalapeño pepper; mix again.

Add eggs and salmon; mash salmon and mix until combined.

Add water and stir into a very thick batter.

Heat 1/4 inch oil in a frying pan just below the medium heat setting.

Scoop up 1 tablespoon batter per fritter; drop carefully into the hot oil in batches of 3. Fry until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes per side.

Transfer to a dish lined with paper towels to drain.

Repeat with remaining batter for about 16 fritters in total.
