Ingredients
Croquettes
- 1 14.75 oz. can pink salmon bones removed, drained and flaked
- ¼ cup low-fat mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 ½ teaspoons Dijon mustard whole grain
- ¼ cup green onions sliced
- 2 tablespoons red bell pepper finely chopped
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon Kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 large egg lightly beaten
- ½ cup plain dry breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
Tartar Sauce
- ¼ cup low-fat mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard whole grain
- 2 tablespoons fresh Italian parsley chopped
- 2 teaspoons capers chopped
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- ¼ teaspoon Kosher salt
Instructions
Croquettes
- in a large bowl, flake the salmon with a fork. Add the mayonnaise, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, green onions, red bell pepper, egg, garlic, and salt. Stir together until well combined.
- Add the breadcrumbs and toss gently. Shape into 6 equal size patties — about 1/3 cup of mixture each — by gently patting together in the palm of your hands, being careful to not pack too tightly together.
- Heat the oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium low heat. Add the croquettes and cook for 5 minutes on each side until lightly browned and crispy.
Tartar Sauce
- In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise with fresh lemon juice, Dijon mustard, chopped Italian parsley, capers, garlic, and salt.
- Serve immediately with croquettes or cover and chill until ready to use.
Notes
- After shaping the croquettes, refrigerating them for 15 to 30 minutes will help them hold together when frying.
- Carefully use a wide spatula to flip the patties over during cooking.
- Make sure not to overcrowd the skillet with all six croquettes at a time. Unless you have an unusually large pan, you’ll need to fry in batches.
- To remove the excess grease from frying, set the patties on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb the oil.
- Include Worcestershire sauce or hot sauce for extra flavor!
