Print Recipe

A classic Southern comfort meal featuring crispy salmon patties (croquettes), creamy cheesy grits, and cheesy scrambled eggs. Quick, budget-friendly, and perfect for breakfast or any meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (14.75 oz) pink salmon, drained
  • 1/4 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1/4 green bell pepper, diced
  • 1/2 yellow onion, diced
  • 3/4 cup plain breadcrumbs
  • 2 raw eggs (one for mixture, extra for binding if needed)
  • 1 tsp seasoning salt (or salt and pepper)
  • 1–2 cups cooking oil for frying
  • 3 eggs for cheesy eggs
  • 3 tsp shredded cheddar cheese for eggs
  • Pinch of salt and pepper for eggs
  • 1/2 tsp bacon grease or butter for eggs
  • 1/2 cup grits
  • 2 cups water
  • 4 tbsp heavy cream
  • 1 tsp salt for grits
  • 1/2 tsp pepper for grits
  • 1/8 cup shredded cheese for grits

Instructions

  1. Drain salmon and mix with 1/4 red bell pepper diced, 1/4 green bell pepper diced, 1/2 yellow onion diced, 3/4 cup breadcrumbs, 1 egg, and 1 tsp seasoning salt. Form into patties; use a second egg if mixture is too crumbly.
  2. Heat 1-2 cups oil in skillet over medium-high heat. Fry patties 4-5 minutes per side until golden and crispy. Drain on paper towels.
  3. For grits: Boil 2 cups water, 4 tbsp heavy cream, 1/2 cup grits, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp pepper. Simmer covered 20-30 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes. Stir in 1/8 cup cheese.
  4. For eggs: Heat 1/2 tsp bacon grease in skillet over medium-low. Scramble 3 eggs with pinch salt, pepper, and 3 tsp shredded cheddar cheese until cooked.
  5. Plate grits first, top with salmon patties and cheesy eggs.

Notes

Use extra egg in salmon mixture to prevent patties from falling apart. Adjust grits cooking time for desired thickness: 20 minutes for thinner, 30-40 for creamier. Serve with hot sauce or lemon for extra flavor.
