Country Fried Salmon Croquettes with Variations image

I've always loved a good salmon croquette or salmon patty for lunch or a light supper. Convincing my husband was another story. With the addition of rice to the patty ingredients, bumping up the spices and using a peppery country-fried chicken breading mix, he was sold. Give it a try! Definitely not your granny's mushy salmon...

CROQUETTES-
1- 14.75 oz. can pink salmon (i use chicken of the sea)
2 eggs, beaten
1/4 cup mayo
1/3 cup onion, very finely chopped
2 tb fresh chives, chopped
1 tsp. dried parsley
1/2 tsp. old bay seasoning
1/2 tsp. worcestershire sauce

  • 1. Prepare canned salmon by removing bones, skin and cartilage. Place in large bowl. Add rest of croquette ingredients. Mix with fork until just incorporated.
  • 2. Using a 1/3 cup measuring cup, form 6 patties to desired thickness. I like mine about 1/2-3/4" thick. Place on large platter.
  • 3. Set up a breading station: 1. flour 2. beaten egg 3. Shake & Bake Country Fried Seasoning or similar Dip each patty in that order. Place on platter until ready to fry.
  • 4. Add 1-2 TB. of butter to large frying pan. Add enough cooking oil to generously coat the bottom. (I like to fry with grape seed oil.) Fry patties until crisp and golden. Drain briefly on paper towels. Serve on top of a mixed green salad, or any of the variations below.
  • 5. Additional serving suggestions/variations: *Knorr Hollandaise Sauce Mix prepared as directed with the addition of 1 tsp. dried dill *Place salmon croquettes atop big, fluffy, country-style biscuits, top with Black Pepper Saw Mill Gravy and serve with coleslaw. *Tartar Sauce *Cocktail Sauce Can also be made into sandwiches. Divide into 4 portions instead of six and add your favorite cabbage slaw or lettuce and tartar sauce, etc. on crusty Kaiser rolls.

I'm not a big fan of salmon, but I actually really enjoyed these croquettes. They were crispy and flavorful.

These croquettes were a great way to use up leftover salmon. They were easy to make and very tasty.

I couldn't find any salmon, so I used tilapia instead. The croquettes still turned out great!

The croquettes were good, but they were a bit bland. I think I would add more seasoning next time.

These croquettes were a bit too oily for my taste. I think I would try baking them next time instead of frying them.

I've made these croquettes twice now, and they've been a hit both times. They're so easy to make, and they're always a crowd-pleaser.

These salmon croquettes were a hit with my family! The crispy coating and flavorful salmon were a perfect combination. I served them with tartar sauce and a side of roasted vegetables, and everyone loved them.
