Have you ever had one of those days when dinner needs to be quick yet still feel a little bit fancy? Well, I’ve been there too and that’s exactly how these salmon croquettes became a favorite in our home.

It all began with a simple can of salmon and absolutely no plan. Then suddenly I remembered that my grandma used to make these golden little patties that were crispy on the outside while at the same time soft and flavorful inside. She used to fry them up as we kids ran wild in the kitchen and we’d sneak bites whenever her back was turned. Needless to say sorry, Granny!

So here’s the thing this recipe is super easy plus it’s budget-friendly and more importantly it brings real comfort.You don’t need any fancy ingredients nor do you need a long prep time.

Just that nostalgic flavor you forgot you’d been craving and once you taste it you’ll see what I mean“You made those again”that’s what my husband, aka the croquette snatcher, always says every time I make them.

If you’ve never made croquettes before then get ready because you’re about to wonder why you didn’t do this sooner.
So let’s dive in and get cooking!
Oh and by the way grab a fork before the kids get to them first!

If your mixture feels too wet, add a little extra breadcrumbs until it holds together better.

For a better version, you can bake the croquettes on a greased baking sheet at 400°F “200°C” for 15 to 18 minutes, turning halfway through.

Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or paprika if you like a little spice.

Use fresh herbs like dill or chives for extra flavor.

Looking for more simple salmon recipes to try ? Here are a few of our favorites:

Ingredients :

• 2 cups cooked or canned salmon, flaked
• 1 cup breadcrumbs “plus extra for coating”
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 2 eggs, lightly beaten
• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 3 tablespoons olive oil “for frying”

How to Make Salmon Croquettes Recipe :

Step 1

Prepare the salmon mixture: in a large mixing bowl, add the flaked salmon, chopped onion, breadcrumbs, eggs, mayonnaise, mustard, lemon juice, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix everything together until well combined. The mixture should hold together when pressed.

Step 2

Shape the patties: take a handful of the mixture and shape it into a round patty, about the size of your palm. Repeat with the rest of the mixture until all croquettes are formed. If you like smaller bite sized croquettes, you can shape them into mini patties.

Step 3

Coat with breadcrumbs: place some breadcrumbs on a plate and gently press each patty into the crumbs to give them a nice coating. This will help make them extra crispy when cooked.

Step 4

Cook the croquettes: heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the croquettes and cook for about 3–4 minutes per side, until they are golden brown and crispy. You may need to cook them in batches so they don’t crowd the pan.

Step 5

Serve and enjoy: once cooked, remove them from the skillet and place on a paper towel lined plate to absorb excess oil. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
