Salmon Croquettes Recipe

Salmon croquettes are a classic Southern dish made from flaked salmon mixed with breadcrumbs, vegetables, and seasonings, then pan-fried until golden brown. They're crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, making them a perfect appetizer or main course.

Ingredients

• 1 (15 oz) can pink salmon, drained and bones removed

• ½ cup finely diced yellow onion

• ¼ cup finely diced green bell pepper

• 1 large egg

• ½ cup plain breadcrumbs

• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

• ½ teaspoon salt

• ¼ teaspoon black pepper

• ½ cup vegetable oil (for frying)

Directions

1. Prepare the Salmon Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the drained and flaked salmon with diced onion, green bell pepper, egg, breadcrumbs, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

2. Shape the Patties: Divide the mixture into 6 to 8 portions and shape each into a patty.

3. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.

4. Cook the Croquettes: Carefully place the patties in the hot oil and cook for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.

5. Drain and Serve: Remove the croquettes from the skillet and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
