- Add the finely chopped onion, cornmeal, flour, mayonnaise, and the egg to the bowl with the salmon.
- Stir the mixture until all the ingredients are well blended.
- Shape the mixture into patties, each about the size of an average burger or slightly smaller.
- Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat.
