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.

CRISPY SALMON CROQUETTES WITH REMOULADE SAUCE
Steps:
- For Remoulade:
- Combine all the remoulade ingredients, except scallions in a bowl and stir together with a fork to help break up the capers. Mix in scallion and set aside.
- For Croquettes:
- Using a fork flake the salmon meat away from the skin. Discard skin.
- In a medium bowl, beat egg. To the egg, add the fish fry mix, salmon, hot sauce, and 1/4 cup of remoulade sauce. Mix well to combine. Form into 8 patties.
- Pour the remaining fish fry mix into a pie dish or onto a dish. Coat the patties in the remaining fish fry mix and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat a thin layer of oil over medium to medium-high heat. Without crowding pan, cook patties until golden brown, about 3 to 4 minutes per side.
- Serve croquettes hot with remaining remoulade sauce.
SALMON CROQUETTES
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.

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.
Conclusion:
Salmon croquettes are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion.
