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.

Provided by Ina Garten

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h15m

Yield 10 to 15 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

5 cups sliced yellow onions, 1/4-inch thick (3 pounds)
5 cups sliced fennel bulbs, 1/4-inch thick (3 pounds)
1/2 cup good olive oil
3 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves, coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons coarsely chopped fennel fronds
1 orange, zested
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed orange juice
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 (10 pound) fresh salmon

Steps:

  • Have the fishmonger cut the head and tail off the salmon and butterfly it, removing all the bones. You should have about 7 pounds of salmon.
  • Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.
  • Saute the onions and fennel in the olive oil for 10 minutes on medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. Add the thyme leaves, fennel fronds, orange zest, orange juice, salt, and pepper and saute for 5 more minutes, until the onions and fennel are tender. Taste for salt and pepper.
  • Lay the salmon, skin side down, on a cutting board and sprinkle both sides generously with salt and pepper. Spread the fennel filling over half of the salmon. Pull the other half up and over the filling, enclosing it. Tie the salmon every 2 inches with kitchen string to secure the stuffing.
  • Place a sheet pan lined with parchment paper in the oven for 5 minutes to heat it. Carefully transfer the salmon to the hot sheet pan and bake it for exactly 30 minutes (10 minutes for each 1-inch of thickness). Do not overbake!
  • Allow to cool slightly, then remove the strings. To serve, cut into thick slices with a very sharp knife. This salmon is delicious hot or at room temperature.
  • Note: If you're making this in advance, be sure to cool the filling before stuffing the salmon. Refrigerate until ready to roast.

SEARED SALMON WITH CITRUS AND ARUGULA SALAD



Seared Salmon With Citrus and Arugula Salad image

Bursting with color and bright, bold flavors, this simple recipe makes an elegant main course for a dinner party, or a welcome diversion from your go-to weeknight salmon. The technique of cooking salmon in a cast-iron skillet creates a beautifully golden-brown sear and crispy skin. For best results, make this recipe during the cold weather months, when citrus fruit is at its best.

Categories     brunch, dinner, lunch, salads and dressings, seafood, appetizer, main course

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for brushing
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed orange juice
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 garlic cloves, minced (about 2 teaspoons)
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon black pepper, plus more to taste
1/4 cup thinly sliced shallot (from 1 large shallot)
1 small grapefruit
2 to 3 navel oranges, blood oranges or Cara Cara oranges, or a combination (about 1 1/2 pounds total)
4 (6-ounce) skin-on salmon fillets
2 to 3 ounces baby arugula (about 4 cups)
1/2 medium fennel bulb, trimmed, cored and very thinly sliced crosswise
1 ripe avocado, halved, pitted, peeled and thinly sliced
1/4 cup shelled, roasted salted or unsalted pistachios, chopped

Steps:

  • Make the glaze for the salmon: In a small bowl, whisk 2 tablespoons olive oil with the orange juice, mustard, half the chopped garlic and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Set aside.
  • Make the salad dressing: In another small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons olive oil with the lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Stir in the shallots and the remaining garlic, then set aside.
  • Using a small serrated knife, peel the grapefruit and oranges and trim to remove any remaining pith. Slice all the peeled fruit crosswise into thin circles (no larger than 1/2-inch thick); remove the seeds and set aside.
  • Heat a 12-inch cast-iron or heavy stainless-steel skillet over medium-high until it's extremely hot (a drop of water flicked onto the pan should turn to steam almost immediately), about 3 minutes. Meanwhile, pat the salmon fillets dry using paper towels, brush both sides with olive oil, and season all over with salt and pepper.
  • When the pan is ready, cook the salmon fillets skin-side down over medium-high without moving until the salmon skin releases easily from the pan, 3 to 4 minutes. Using a pair of tongs or a spatula, wiggle the fillets to loosen the skin from the bottom of the pan, then carefully flip. Lower the heat to medium and cook until the salmon is cooked through but still slightly rare in the center, 4 to 5 more minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets.
  • Transfer to a rimmed plate or serving dish, and brush the glaze all over the salmon, making sure to coat the fillets.
  • Combine the arugula and fennel in a large bowl. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss well. Add the avocado, citrus rounds and pistachios, and toss gently. Transfer to a shallow serving bowl or platter and serve alongside the salmon.

SALMON CROQUETTES WITH FRESH SALMON



Salmon Croquettes with Fresh Salmon image

These croquettes are made with fresh salmon, but still cook really quickly. They are great to snack on as an appetizer dipped into some tartar or remoulade sauce, over a green salad, or with some wild rice and veggies on the side.

Provided by fabeveryday

Time 1h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound boneless, skinless salmon fillets
½ cup baking mix (such as Bisquick®)
½ cup diced onion
¼ cup diced red bell pepper
¼ cup freshly chopped parsley
1 large egg
3 cloves garlic, minced
½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
¼ teaspoon seasoned salt
¼ teaspoon seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay®)
⅓ cup cornmeal
2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Finely chop the salmon using a food processor.
  • Transfer salmon to a bowl with baking mix, onion, bell pepper, parsley, egg, garlic, Worcestershire, seasoned salt, and seafood seasoning. Mix until the ingredients are well blended.
  • Form the mixture into 8 small patties, and place onto a plate lined with waxed paper. If you are struggling to form the patties due to the mixture being sticky, rinse your hands after forming every few patties, as the mixture is easier to work with while your hands are clean. Refrigerate the patties for 30 minutes.
  • Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place the cornmeal into a shallow dish and dredge each patty in the cornmeal, pressing lightly so that the cornmeal adheres to both sides of the patties.
  • Working in batches, cook the patties in the oil until golden and cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per side.

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.

Categories     brunch, dinner, lunch, seafood, appetizer, main course

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:

  • To make the croquettes more flavorful, use smoked salmon instead of regular salmon.
  • If you don't have fennel, you can substitute celery or zucchini.
  • To make the croquettes crispier, coat them in breadcrumbs before frying.
  • Serve the croquettes with your favorite dipping sauce, such as tartar sauce, ranch dressing, or honey mustard.
  • For a healthier version of the croquettes, bake them in the oven instead of frying them.

Conclusion:

Salmon croquettes are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for a party or potluck, and they can be made ahead of time. The croquettes are crispy on the outside and moist and flavorful on the inside. The fennel, red bell pepper, and arugula slaw add a refreshing and tangy flavor to the dish. This recipe is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
