Salmon and Corn Fritters

bluemoon downunder's Note:

A great appetiser which can be made a day ahead of when you want to serve them, wrapped in foil and reheated when you're ready to serve them. Adapted from a recipe in the Australian magazine 'New Idea'. If you are serving these at a family gathering, most children would probably enjoy these minus the sour cream and smoked salmon!

• Total Time: 30 mins
• Prep Time: 10 mins
• Cook Time: 20 mins

Ingredients:

Serves: 8

Yield: 24.0 Salmon ...

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 small red onion, finely minced
• 3 garlic cloves, finely minced
• 420 g corn kernels, drained
• 1/4 cup plain flour
• 3 eggs
• 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
• sea salt, to taste
• fresh ground black pepper, to taste
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1 tablespoon capers, drained, chopped
• 200 g smoked salmon
• fresh dill, to garnish

Directions:

1. Heat the oil in a large pan, preferably non-stick; add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally until both have softened; reserve 1 tablespoon of the onion and garlic mixture for topping; place the remaining onion and garlic in a large bowl and add the corn kernels, flour, eggs and dill; season with salt and pepper and stir to combine.
2. Heat a large oiled, non-stick pan over a medium heat; spoon tablespoons of the corn mixture into the pan and repeat to make 5 fritters; cook for about 2 minutes on each side or until the fritters are golden and cooked through; remove the fritters and drain them on absorbent paper and cover them to keep them warm; repeat with the remaining corn mixture.
3. Combine the sour cream, capers and reserved onion and garlic in a small bowl.
4. TO SERVE: divide the sour cream mixture evenly among the fritters, top with the smoked salmon and garnish with the fresh dill.

I made these for the starter for our Christmas dinner and we both enjoyed them very much. The only ingredient missing was capers, which I usually have a jar of in the fridge but this time, I didn't. Anyway, the combination of the sweet corn, smoked salmon and sour cream was incredible. I will definitely make these again!

Incredible! I most certainly included the sour cream and smoked salmon! I will definitely be making these again. Made for Please Review My Recipe Tag Game.

Made these to include on the buffet counter for a monthly group I host & they were A BIG HIT! I did leave some 6 of them without the toppings, but almost everyone went for the 'real' deal! Personally I liked them both ways equally, but then, that's me! Now I have standing orders to make these whenever this particular group meets! [Tagged, made & reviewed in Newest Zaar tag game]
