Salmon Croquettes
I don’t know about you, but I love a simple 3 ingredient recipe. Salmon croquettes, also known as, salmon patties are made with one sleeve of saltine crackers (crushed), 1 egg, and 1 can of salmon (drained, deboned, and skin removed). My mom made salmon croquettes when I was growing up, and now I make them for my family.
There's really not much to making this recipe for salmon croquettes. I use my hands to mix my ingredients together. I would recommend wearing rubber gloves while you mix your ingredients together to form patties.
Also, I would highly recommend frying salmon croquettes outside. Let's just say, they're fragrant as they cook. I use an electric skillet that can easily be transported outside for cooking. Once my salmon croquettes are golden brown, I use a spider to remove them onto paper towels to drain. Canola oil is my choice oil for frying salmon croquettes.
This recipe is a staple at our home, especially on Fridays during lent. I love dipping my salmon croquettes in ketchup, BUT this recipe for Food and Wine's Dill Sauce is a must try if you plan to serve these as an appetizer. And if you follow along, you may realize that I LOVE serving salmon croquettes with one of my most recently developed recipes, Creamy Succotash. Checkout the full recipe for salmon croquettes below!
