Ingredients

For Croquettes

1 lb cooked salmon (or halibut), picked over for bones and flaked

1/2 medium onion, minced

1/2 C dried gf breadcrumbs

1/2 C finely chopped fresh parsley (or 2 TBL dried)

2 eggs, lightly beaten

salt and pepper

1/4 C Seasoned Flour (recipe below) or cornmeal (for frying)

3-4 TBL vegetable oil

For Seasoned Flour

1/4 C Jeanne's Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour Mix

1/4 tsp salt

1/4 tsp pepper

You can also mix in any of the following seasonings, if you so desire:

lemon pepper

cayenne pepper

dry mustard

paprika

dried herbs/spices such as basil, oregano, thyme, sage, allspice, coriander, cumin, ginger

In a bowl, combine flour, salt, pepper (and any seasonings you want).

For the breadcrumbs:

I make breadcrumbs out of my Multi-Grain Sandwich Bread. To make breadcrumbs, I take a few slices and toast them in the toaster. I then let them cool and I grind them into crumbs in a food processor. If you don't want to go through this process, you can also use commercially-bought gluten-free bread crumbs.

For Spicy Remoulade Sauce

1 C mayonnaise

2 TBL sweet relish

2 TBL minced fresh parsley or 2 tsp dried

1 clove shallot, minced

2 slices jarred pickled jalapeno peppers, seeds removed, minced

1 TBL apple cider vinegar (or fresh lemon juice)

1 TBL brown mustard

1 tsp dried tarragon

ground pepper

Mix all ingredients in a small bowl. Let sit at room temperature for an hour to meld the flavors before serving. Store in a sealed container in the refrigerator for about 1 week. Use as a sauce for the Salmon Croquettes.

To make the Croquettes:

-in a large bowl, mix together all of the Croquette ingredients except for the Seasoned Flour

-form this mixture into hamburger-sized patties

-coat all sides of the patties with the Seasoned Flour

-heat oil in a pan

-fry the Croquettes for a few minutes on each side, letting each side brown a bit

-serve hot with the Spicy Remoulade as an accompaniment.

Enjoy!
