My kids, husband & friends love this.

You might need to buy:
  • saltine crackers crumbled
  • egg
  • mayonnaise
  • mustard
  • onion finely minced
  • large can salmon drained
  • Yellow cornmeal

This is my own variation…I took what I liked of two different versions of this recipe and made my own. We use this on red snapper, red fish/red drum, and black drum. Those fish have about the same texture and similar taste.
We do not care for thyme, so I add even less than 1/8 teaspoon. I will make the sauce ahead, you can just let it sit while you are doing your fish as the fish doesn’t take very long at all and you can just quickly re-heat the sauce.
This is one of those recipes that you can adjust to taste. I have even used white wine if I didn’t have red wine…it is still very good.

  • avacado sliced
