Canned tuna is often more affordable and widely available.

Open the can of pink salmon and drain the juice, saving it in case the mixture is too dry.

Remove the bones and skin from the salmon, leaving some skin if desired.

In a mixing bowl, combine the salmon with white cornmeal and flour, mixing it all up before forming patties.

Add mayonnaise, garlic powder, onion powder, and pepper to the mixture, ensuring it's well combined.

Incorporate eggs and lemon juice into the mixture, along with a small amount of pickle juice for flavor.

If desired, add more garlic powder and adjust seasoning as necessary.

Form the mixture into patties, ensuring they hold together well.

Heat oil in a skillet over low heat, enough to fry the patties.

Place the patties in the skillet, optionally coating them with extra flour or cornmeal for crispiness.

Fry the patties for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and crispy, flipping carefully when they are firm enough.

If the patties are too soft to flip, allow them to cook a little longer before attempting to turn them over.
