SALMON CROQUETTES



Salmon Croquettes image

Salmon croquettes-a southern take on salmon patties with a golden, crispy crust-are easy and budget friendly, thanks to canned salmon.

Provided by Erin Clarke / Well Plated

Categories     Main Course

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 19

15 ounces canned boneless, skinless salmon packed in water* (look for a sustainable brand and make sure the bones/skin are removed)
2 large eggs
1 small red bell pepper (finely diced)
1/2 small white or red onion (finely chopped)
1/4 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon celery salt
1/4 teaspoon hot sauce (optional; I used Tabasco)
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley or cilantro
1/3 cup finely ground yellow cornmeal or all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil (divided (for cooking the patties))
1/2 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt
2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Pinch kosher salt
2 to 3 dashes hot sauce (optional)
1/2 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (cilantro, or basil (optional))

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.

SALMON CROQUETTES



Salmon Croquettes image

These croquettes have what may just be the perfect texture combination: crispy outsides and tender insides. Made from simple ingredients, they're also a great use of leftovers, putting to work those halves of onion and bell pepper from last night's dinner, and any remaining salmon, though you can also use canned (boneless works best). The filling may be a little delicate when you put it together, but a quick pop in the fridge or freezer makes it easier to work with. Serve the croquettes alone as an appetizer with tartar sauce or hot sauce, or make them a bigger meal alongside grits.

Time 30m

Yield 2 main-course servings, 4 appetizer servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 (14-ounce) can boneless, skinless salmon or 1 pound cooked salmon
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 green bell pepper, finely chopped
1/2 cup diced onion
1 garlic clove, grated
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
1 teaspoon seafood seasoning, such as Old Bay
1 teaspoon hot sauce, plus more for serving
1/2 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup panko bread crumbs
2 teaspoons seasoning of choice, such as onion powder, garlic powder, paprika or a combination
Vegetable or canola oil, for frying
Tartar sauce, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • If using canned salmon, drain and discard the liquid. Flake the salmon into a large bowl; set aside.
  • Heat olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium and sauté peppers and onions until translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Add garlic and sauté for another 30 seconds; let cool slightly.
  • Add the sautéed veggies to the bowl with the salmon, along with 1 egg, 1/4 cup flour, the parsley, seafood seasoning, hot sauce, salt and pepper. Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for 20 minutes, or pop into the freezer for 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Using your hands, shape the chilled mixture into 1-inch-thick patties.
  • Set up three separate plates or shallow bowls: one filled with the remaining 1/4 cup flour, another with the egg and a third with the panko. Season the panko with the seasoning of your choice, then lightly dip each croquette into the flour, egg then panko, coating to cover. Set the croquettes aside.
  • Wipe out the same pan, and heat about 1/4 cup vegetable or canola oil over medium. Drop a bread crumb in the oil, and see if it sizzles.
  • Gently place croquettes in oil, making sure not to crowd the pan, and pan fry until golden brown on both sides, about 3 to 5 minutes per side.
  • Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and serve warm, with tartar sauce or hot sauce if desired.

Tips:

  • Choose the right salmon: For the best results, use fresh or frozen salmon fillets that are free of skin and bones. If using frozen salmon, thaw it thoroughly before cooking.
  • Cook the salmon properly: To ensure that the salmon is cooked through, bake it at 400°F for 12-15 minutes, or until it flakes easily with a fork.
  • Flake the salmon: Once the salmon is cooked, use a fork to flake it into small pieces. This will help to create a more tender and evenly textured croquette.
  • Use a good binder: A binder is necessary to hold the croquettes together. Some common binders include eggs, bread crumbs, and mashed potatoes. In this recipe, mashed potatoes are used.
  • Season the croquettes well: Don't be afraid to season the croquettes generously. Common seasonings include salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
  • Fry the croquettes until golden brown: To get a crispy exterior and a tender interior, fry the croquettes in hot oil until they are golden brown on all sides.
