Caribbean-Style Fried Salmon Fritters - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    2 cups whole wheat flour
    1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
    2 teaspoons baking powder
    1 teaspoon salt
    1 teaspoon ground thyme
    1 pinch ground cumin
    1 medium onion, finely chopped
    1 jalapeno pepper, finely chopped
    2 eggs, or as needed
    2 (14.75 ounce) cans salmon, drained and flaked
    1 cup water
    vegetable oil for frying
Preparation
    Mix flour, parsley, baking powder, salt, thyme, and cumin together in a large bowl. Add chopped onion and jalapeno pepper; mix again. Add eggs and salmon; mash salmon and mix until combined. Add water and stir into a very thick batter.
    Heat 1/4 inch oil in a frying pan just below the medium heat setting. Scoop up 1 tablespoon batter per fritter; drop carefully into the hot oil in batches of 3. Fry until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a dish lined with paper towels to drain. Repeat with remaining batter for about 16 fritters in total.
