SALMON CROQUETTES

Steps:

• Drain the liquid from the canned salmon into a measuring cup. Flake the salmon into a large bowl, and set aside.
• In a large bowl, gently mix the canned salmon, eggs, onion, garlic, ¼ cup breadcrumbs, white pepper, green onions, hot sauce, Cajun seasoning, and salt.
• Grab about 2-3 tablespoons of the mixture, then shape it into a croquette using your hands into an oval shape - just like an egg. Repeat the process until the salmon mixture is all used up.
• Lightly dip the croquettes into the extra egg mixture until it is completely coated. Then roll them in breadcrumbs. Set aside.
• Heat a small non-stick frying pan with medium-high heat, then add about ½ cup of oil. Let the oil heat until it reaches about 350℉/177℃.
• Gently place croquette in oil using a frying spoon, if needed, then fry about two minutes per side or until golden brown. You may have to do it in batches to prevent the croquettes from getting soggy.
• Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels and serve warm with remoulade sauce.

SALMON CROQUETTES

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, mix together the salmon, egg, celery, green onion, dill, and garlic powder. Form the mixture into golf ball sized balls, and roll in wheat germ to coat.

SALMON CROQUETTES

Steps:

• In a large frypan, heat butter over medium high heat, and sauté onion and garlic powder.
• Add salmon, season with salt and pepper (you may wish to add dill) and heat through.
• Add flour and stir well.
• Add milk gradually stirring constantly until mixture thickens and forms a ball.
• Remove mixture to plate and allow to cool completely (this may be done the day before, and the mixture placed in the refrigerator--it's easier to work with this way).
• Form into oval shaped croquettes, dip in egg and dredge in bread crumbs.
• Deep fry in hot oil, and drain on paper towels.
• This recipe can be made with practically anything, fish, chicken, ham, vegetables (spinach is lovely).

SALMON CROQUETTES CORNMEAL STYLE

Steps:

• Open and drain cans of salmon. Clean by removing skin and bones. (If you miss a few of the tiny bones, don't worry, salmon is so forgiving--they're brittle and edible).
• In a medium bowl, add salmon and the next 9 ingredients and mix well.
• If you're pan browning or baking, form 8 patties (flying saucer shape).
• If you're frying, form 8-10 round balls.
• Once the croquettes are formed, roll or dredge in 1/2 cup cornmeal in a shallow bowl.
• PAN BROWNING: On med-high, heat 3 tablespoons olive oil and pan brown 4 patties at a time, making sure they don't touch and you have room to flip each one easily. Brown on each side approximately 3 minutes each. Lay a paper towel on a plate and place the first 4 patties. ADD 3 tablespoons more olive oil for remaining patties.
• BAKING: Preheat oven to 400°F; lay 8 patties in a metal 9x13-inch pan and Pam spray the top of each. Bake for 10-15 minutes and flip and continue baking for another 10-15 minutes.
• FRYING: In a large skillet on medium high heat, add enough oil to cover 1/3 the height of the croquette. Fry 4 at a time giving you room to roll them on all sides until the entire piece is nicely browned (4-5 minutes). Drain on paper towels.
• Eat them plain or I offer homemade tartar sauce and seafood cocktail sauce as condiments.

SALMON CROQUETTES

Steps:

• Drain the salmon well and place in a large mixing bowl.
• Lightly beat the eggs in a separate bowl.
• To the bowl with the salmon, add the bell pepper, onion, Greek yogurt Worcestershire, kosher salt, pepper, celery salt, hot sauce, parsley, and beaten eggs.
• With a fork, mix until evenly combined.
• Place the cornmeal in a shallow dish (a pie plate works well). Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and place it near the cornmeal.
• Shape the salmon mixture into 8 patties, then lightly coat both sides of each in the cornmeal. To shape the patties, squeeze lightly with your hands discarding a little bit of liquid that may come out of the patties. Press them together gently but with enough force so that they hold together. The patties will feel loose, wet, and delicate; be patient and do your best, they'll cook up fine! Place the patties on the baking sheet as you go.
• Cover the pan with plastic and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes or up to 1 day.
• While the patties chill, prepare the dipping sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, Dijon, salt, hot sauce, and herbs. Refrigerate if you won't be serving within 30 minutes.
• To cook the patties, heat 1/2 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot and shimmering, swirl the pan, then gently place the first batch of patties in the skillet so that they are not touching (I can fit 4 at a time in my skillet, but you may need to cook additional batches if your skillet isn't large enough). Cook 3 to 4 minutes on each side, until the outsides are crisp and golden and the interiors are cooked through. Add the remaining 1/2 tablespoon olive oil, swirl, then repeat with remaining patties. If at any point the croquettes begin to stick, add more oil as needed. If desired, keep the croquettes warm in a 250 degree F oven between batches. Enjoy hot with dipping sauce.
