Salmon Croquette Recipe
Salmon lovers, this recipe is for you! If you don’t know what salmon croquettes are, you are in for a treat. This recipe uses canned salmon along with a host of delicious seasonings and ingredients that flavor the salmon to perfection. Once formed into patties, they are pan-fried in a skillet until golden brown. Not only are these insanely delicious, but they make a great side to any meal or a quick, on-the-go meal if you are short on time. Don’t forget to dip them in some delicious Tartar Sauce! It really elevates these delicious croquettes, and the combined flavor is so delicious that you won’t be able to stop at one!
Ingredients in Salmon Croquettes
These ingredients are simple, and I bet that you can already find most of them in your pantry! This recipe uses classic ingredients to really grab hold of the delicious flavor of salmon and make it taste its best. Go ahead and check out the recipe card at the bottom of the post for all of the exact measurements.
Panko Bread Crumbs: The breadcrumbs help to form the perfect crust. Flour: I used all-purpose flour in this recipe. Bell Peppers: These are optional, but I love the added color, crunch, and flavor they bring to the croquettes. Canned Salmon: Using canned salmon saves so much time! Garlic Powder: This is so delicious with the salmon. Salt and Pepper: These enhance all of the flavors in the recipe. Egg: The egg binds all of the ingredients together making it easy to form patties. Mayonnaise: This also helps bind the ingredients together and adds a creaminess to the base. Worcestershire Sauce: This added flavor is out of this world! Fresh Cilantro: If you aren’t a fan of cilantro (it seems to be a love-it-or-hate-it ingredient), then you can leave it out! Vegetable Oil: I use the oil to cook the croquettes in the skillet. It helps them get that golden brown color.
How do You Make Salmon Croquettes?
Can I use fresh salmon instead of canned salmon in this recipe? Yes, you can substitute fresh salmon for canned salmon if you prefer. Just make sure that you cook and flake the fresh salmon before adding it to the mixture. Can I use a different type of breadcrumb instead of Panko? Yes, you can use regular breadcrumbs or crushed crackers as a substitute for Panko if you don’t have it on hand! How do I know when the croquettes are cooked through? The croquettes are done when they are golden brown on both sides and have reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. I always like to use a meat thermometer to double-check the temperature. Can I use a different type of oil for frying the croquettes? You can use vegetable oil, canola oil, or any other neutral-flavored oil to fry the croquettes.
Make them ahead of time: You can make the croquettes ahead of time and refrigerate them for a day or two. When you are ready to eat them you can reheat them in the oven or on a skillet.
