Combine cracker crumbs and reserved liquid; let stand 5 minutes or until liquid is absorbed. Stir in salmon, cornmeal, and next 3 ingredients. Shape salmon into 6 patties.

Pour oil to depth of 1/4" into a large heavy skillet. Fry patties in hot oil over medium heat until browned, turning once. Drain patties on paper towels.
