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.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Place the salmon on a sheet pan, skin side down. Brush with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast for 15 to 20 minutes, until just cooked. Remove from the oven and cover tightly with aluminum foil. Allow to rest for 10 minutes and refrigerate until cold.
- Meanwhile, place 2 tablespoons of the butter, 2 tablespoons olive oil, the onion, celery, red and yellow bell peppers, parsley, capers, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, crab boil seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a large saute pan over medium-low heat and cook until the vegetables are soft, approximately 15 to 20 minutes. Cool to room temperature.
- Break the bread slices in pieces and process the bread in a food processor fitted with a steel blade. You should have about 1 cup of bread crumbs. Place the bread crumbs on a sheet pan and toast in the oven for 5 minutes until lightly browned, tossing occasionally.
- Flake the chilled salmon into a large bowl. Add the bread crumbs, mayonnaise, mustard, and eggs. Add the vegetable mixture and mix well. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Shape into 10 (2 1/2 to 3-ounce) cakes.
- Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. In batches, add the salmon cakes and fry for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, until browned. Drain on paper towels; keep them warm in a preheated 250 degree F oven and serve hot.

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.

FRESH SALMON CROQUETTES
Steps:
- Put the salmon through the medium blade of a meat grinder into a large bowl. Lacking a meat grinder, chop the salmon by hand or place it in a food processor and pulse briefly until chopped medium fine, then transfer it to a bowl. Be careful not to chop the fish too fine or the croquettes will be dry.
- To the salmon add the bread crumbs, cream, shallots, garlic, herbs, mustard, eggs, lemon juice, Tabasco, salt, and pepper. Using your hands or a wooden spoon, mix thoroughly. Form the mixture into six burgerlike patties, each about 3/4 inch thick. Spread about 1/2 cup flour on a plate and dip the patties, one at a time, in it to coat on both sides, shaking off any excess.
- Heat the oil in a large heavy skillet over medium heat; it should be hot enough so a sprinkle of flour sizzles on contact. Add the butter to the hot oil and, as soon as it has melted, add the salmon croquettes and fry until cooked through and golden brown on both sides, about 5 minutes per side.
- Using a slotted spoon, transfer the croquettes to paper towels to drain, then serve immediately.
Tips:
- To ensure the smoothest croquettes, use a food processor or blender to finely chop the salmon and other ingredients. This will help create a uniform mixture that will hold together well when frying.
- If you don't have a food processor or blender, you can finely chop the ingredients by hand. Just be sure to chop them as finely as possible to ensure a smooth mixture.
- Don't overmix the croquette mixture. Overmixing can make the croquettes tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
- To prevent the croquettes from sticking to the pan, make sure the oil is hot before adding the croquettes. You can test the oil by dropping a small piece of bread into it. If the bread sizzles and browns quickly, the oil is hot enough.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when frying the croquettes. This will prevent them from cooking evenly. Fry the croquettes in batches if necessary.
- Serve the croquettes hot with your favorite dipping sauce. Some popular dipping sauces include tartar sauce, rémoulade, and cocktail sauce.
Conclusion:
