Introduction

Welcome to another episode of Cutting Up with Bay! In today's episode, we will be making one of my favorite brunch recipes using skinless boneless salmon instead of the traditional canned salmon. Join me in the kitchen as we create this delicious and easy-to-make brunch.

Ingredients for Salmon Patties

To start off, let's gather the ingredients for the salmon patties. You will need:

• Skinless boneless salmon
• Onion
• Bell pepper
• Bread crumbs
• Eggs
• Seasonings of your choice (salt, pepper, or Chef Bay seasoning)

Preparing the Salmon Mixture

Begin by cutting up the onion and bell pepper. Set them aside. Open the canned salmon and remove any bones, spine, or skin. This may be a bit more expensive, but it saves time and effort. Use about four cans of salmon and add the onion and bell pepper to the mixture. Don't forget to season it with salt, pepper, or your preferred seasoning.

Making the Grits

For this recipe, we will be using stone-ground grits. If you can't find them or prefer instant grits, feel free to use those instead. Soak the grits in water for a few minutes. Remove the grits that sink to the bottom and discard the ones that float. Cook the remaining grits in a pan for about 10-15 minutes until they become thick.

Seasoning the Grits

Once the grits are cooked, it's time to add flavor. Mix in some butter, salt, and pepper to enhance the taste. Adjust the seasoning according to your preference.

Frying the Salmon Patties

Now, let's move on to frying the salmon patties. Heat a pan with medium-low heat and cook the patties until they turn golden brown. This process will give them a beautiful color and delicious taste. Once cooked, place the patties on paper towels to remove excess oil.

Seasoning the Shrimp

Prepare the shrimp by adding a little bit of Chef Bay seafood seasoning or your preferred seasoning. Chef Bay seasonings are not overly salty, allowing you to experience the real flavors of the dish.

Cooking the Shrimp

Cook the shrimp until they are perfectly cooked. Ensure they have a beautiful tiger stripe pattern and the right texture. Avoid overcooking them to maintain their taste and tenderness.

Preparing the Eggs

For those curious about my egg cooking technique, here's how you can achieve perfect eggs. Use medium-low heat and cook the eggs for about two to three minutes. Once they are almost done, remove them from the heat and place them on the cool side of the stove. Stir the eggs to prevent sticking.

Tips for Perfect Eggs

To achieve the perfect eggs, remember two important tips. Firstly, monitor the heat throughout the cooking process. Secondly, know when to take the eggs off the stove. Cooking eggs on medium-low heat and removing them after two to three minutes will result in perfectly cooked eggs.

Plating the Brunch

The moment we've all been waiting for! It's time to plate the brunch. Arrange the grits vertically on the plate, followed by the eggs laid horizontally. Add the salmon patties and sprinkle some cheese on top of the eggs and grits. Stack the cooked shrimp and garnish with fresh parsley. If fresh parsley is unavailable, feel free to use the parsley from your cabinet.

Conclusion
