Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can (14.75 oz) salmon, drained and flaked
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine flaked salmon, breadcrumbs, chopped onion, mayonnaise, egg, parsley, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Mix everything thoroughly until well combined.
- Shape the mixture into 8 equal-sized patties and place them on a plate.
- Heat about 1/4 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Once the oil is hot, carefully add the patties in batches without overcrowding the pan.
- Fry each croquette for about 3–4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the croquettes from the skillet and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
- Serve warm with tartar sauce or lemon wedges, if desired.
Notes
For extra flavor, try adding a dash of Old Bay seasoning to the mix or serve with a spicy aioli dipping sauce.
