Ingredients
- 15 ounces canned wild-caught salmon
- 1 cup whole grain bread crumbs
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons green onions
- 2 tablespoons parsley
- 1 teaspoon low-sodium Old Bay seasoning
- 1 olive oil spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Drain the canned salmon and flake it into a large bowl, removing any large bones.
Add the whole grain bread crumbs, egg, dijon mustard, lemon juice, chopped green onions, chopped parsley, and low-sodium Old Bay seasoning to the bowl with the flaked salmon.
Mix all ingredients together until well combined.
Using clean hands, shape the mixture into 8 patties about 2-3 inches in diameter.
Place the patties onto the prepared baking sheet and lightly spray the tops with olive oil spray.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then flip the patties and continue to bake for another 10 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy on the outside.
Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
Serve these heart-healthy salmon croquettes warm with a side of mixed greens or a yogurt-based dipping sauce.
