Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked salmon, flaked
- 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
- 1/4 cup finely chopped green bell pepper
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup breadcrumbs, divided
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the flaked salmon, chopped onion, green bell pepper, mayonnaise, beaten egg, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and parsley. Mix well.
- Add 1/2 cup breadcrumbs to the mixture and gently fold to combine. If the mixture is too wet, add a bit more breadcrumbs until it holds together.
- Shape the mixture into small patties or croquettes, about 2-3 inches in diameter.
- Coat each croquette evenly with the remaining breadcrumbs.
- Heat about 1/4 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Fry the croquettes in batches for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.
- Drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
- Serve warm with tartar sauce or a lemon wedge.
Notes
For an extra crispy coating, double-dip the croquettes in beaten egg before coating with breadcrumbs. Serve with a side salad or coleslaw for a complete meal.
