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.

Yield 2 main-course servings, 4 appetizer servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

Ingredients

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.
