SALMON CROQUETTES

Steps:

• Combine salmon, bell peppers, and onion in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Shape by hand into patties, as you would a hamburger. In a separate bowl, combine cornmeal and flour. Roll salmon patties in the cornmeal mixture.
• Heat about 1-inch of oil in a large, heavy skillet to 340 degrees F. Carefully place patties, in batches as necessary, in the hot oil and fry for 3 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Drain patties on paper towels. Serve with ketchup and/or hot sauce, if desired.

SALMON CROQUETTES

Steps:

• Drain liquid from salmon.
• Remove large bones, skin, and dark brown spots from salmon.
• Gently break up salmon and set aside.
• Mash baked potato, or crush sleeve of crackers into crumbs, and add to salmon.
• Stir in egg, onions, salt, and pepper.
• Shape mixture into egg-shaped croquettes if using potatoes and roll in cracker crumbs. Shape salmon into patties if using crushed crackers.
• Brown in hot oil a few minutes on each side until golden.
• Reserve some liquid from the salmon if the patties are to dry to hold together, add 1-2 teaspoons.

SALMON CROQUETTES WITH DILL SAUCE

Steps:

• To make the dill sauce, whisk together the yogurt, mustard, and dill in a small bowl. Set aside.
• Drain the salmon, and then remove and discard the bones and skin. Mix the salmon, celery, onion, eggs, salt, and pepper in a good-size bowl. Form the mixture into 8 patties. Slick a medium skillet with the olive oil and heat it over medium-high heat. Cook the patties until browned on both sides, about 5 minutes per side.
• Put a dollop of the dill sauce on top of each patty and serve.

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.
