Making Southern Fried Salmon Patties is simple when you follow these clear steps:

1. Prepare the Salmon: Drain the canned salmon and remove any skin or bones if desired. Flake the salmon into a large mixing bowl.

2. Combine Ingredients: Add the egg, breadcrumbs, green onions, bell pepper, Old Bay seasoning, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt to the bowl. Mix well until fully combined.

3. Form Patties: Using your hands, shape the mixture into patties, about 2-3 inches in diameter. You should get approximately 6-8 patties.

4. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat about 1/4 inch of oil over medium heat. Wait until the oil shimmers before frying the patties.

5. Fry the Patties: Carefully place the patties in the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.

6. Drain Excess Oil: Once cooked, remove the patties from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

7. Serve Hot: Enjoy your Southern Fried Salmon Patties right away for the best flavor and texture.
