Let's dive into how you can make these delicious fritters at home.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Bake Salmon: Place the salmon on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Bake for about 20 minutes or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork. Remove from the oven and set aside.
- Beat Eggs: In a large mixing bowl, crack and beat the 4 eggs until smooth.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Add the 1/2 cup all-purpose flour and 1 tsp baking powder to the eggs. Mix until well combined.
- Incorporate Milk: Gradually pour in the 1/4 cup milk, stirring continuously until the batter is smooth.
- Chop Spinach: Add the roughly chopped 3 cups spinach to the batter.
- Mint and Feta: Stir in the 2 tbsp finely chopped spearmint and the 1 cup crumbled feta cheese. Mix gently to incorporate all ingredients evenly.
- Heat Pan: Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease the skillet with oil or butter.
- Spoon Batter: Spoon about 2-3 tablespoons of the batter into the skillet for each fritter. Flatten them slightly with the back of the spoon.
- Cook: Cook each fritter for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more oil if needed.
- Plate Up: Place a few fritters on each plate, add a serving of the baked salmon.
- Add Sour Cream: Serve with a dollop of sour cream on the side or directly on top of the fritters.
Tips:
- Use fresh spinach for the best flavor and texture. If you use frozen spinach, make sure to thaw and drain it thoroughly to avoid excess moisture in the fritters.
- Crème fraîche can be substituted for sour cream if you prefer a slightly milder, less tangy taste.
- Feel free to add some finely chopped onions or garlic to the batter for additional flavor.
- Cook the salmon until it is just done, so it remains moist and tender when mixed with the other ingredients.
- Serve the fritters with a fresh green salad or a side of roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
- If you want crispier fritters, you can fry them in a bit of oil instead of baking.
With their vibrant flavors and satisfying texture, these feta and spinach fritters are sure to become a favorite in your recipe collection. The combination of spinach, spearmint, and feta cheese offers a unique and delicious taste experience, while the salmon adds a touch of elegance and extra protein. Whether you're cooking for yourself or serving guests, these fritters are a versatile and impressive option. Enjoy them fresh and warm straight from the pan!
