Salmon Croquettes With Remoulade Sauce Food

SALMON CROQUETTES WITH REMOULADE SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine the flour, Worcestershire, hot sauce if using, Dijon, garlic powder, scallions, salmon, onion, 1 of the eggs, 1 teaspoon of the Cajun seasoning, 1 teaspoon salt and several grinds of black pepper in a medium bowl and gently stir with a fork until the flour is fully incorporated. Place the mixture in the refrigerator and chill for at least 30 minutes and up to 1 hour (see Cook's Note).
• Meanwhile, prepare the remoulade sauce by combining the mayonnaise, capers, sweet paprika, cornichons and brine, remaining 2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a small bowl and set aside. (The sauce can be refrigerated, covered, up to 1 hour; serve chilled or at room temperature.)
• Lightly beat the remaining egg in a small bowl. Place the panko in another small bowl and dust your hands lightly with flour. Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, scoop the salmon mixture, shape it into an oblong croquette about 2 inches long and set on a large plate. Repeat to make a total of 8 croquettes. (Alternatively, these can be shaped into round patties). Working 1 croquette at a time, dip into the egg and then roll in the panko to coat completely, gently pressing so it adheres.
• Heat the canola oil a large skillet over high heat until 350 degrees F on a deep-fry thermometer or by testing: Add a small piece of the salmon mixture to the oil; it should bubble vigorously and float to the top. Line a plate with paper towels.
• Carefully place the croquettes in the oil, making sure to leave space in between to ensure even cooking. Cook until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to the lined plate and let cool slightly. Serve warm with the remoulade sauce.

SALMON CROQUETTES WITH RéMOULADE

Steps:

• To prepare rémoulade, combine first 9 ingredients in a bowl; cover and chill.
• To prepare croquettes, combine 1/3 cup yogurt, 1 tablespoon mustard, and egg whites in a bowl. Set aside.
• Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add 1/2 cup onion and celery; cook 4 minutes or until tender. Cool slightly. Combine onion mixture, yogurt mixture, 1/2 cup crackers, 1/4 teaspoon dried tarragon, 1/8 teaspoon pepper, and salmon in a bowl; toss gently. Cover and chill 10 minutes. Divide salmon mixture into 8 equal portions, shaping each into a 1/2-inch-thick patty. Coat patties evenly with remaining 1/2 cup crackers. Cover and chill 20 minutes.
• Combine carrot and 1/4 cup rémoulade in a bowl (reserve remaining sauce); toss gently to coat.
• Melt butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add patties; reduce heat to medium. Cook 4 minutes on each side or until lightly browned. Serve croquettes with carrot salad and remaining sauce. Garnish with fresh tarragon, if desired.
