Open the canned salmon and drain well. Transfer the salmon to a large mixing bowl and flake it with a fork, picking out any large bones.
Add the eggs, chickpea flour, finely chopped onion, red bell pepper, green onions, minced garlic, and parsley to the bowl with the salmon.
Mix in the lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. Stir until all ingredients are well combined and the mixture holds together.
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each into a patty, pressing firmly to ensure they hold together.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the salmon patties to the skillet, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook in batches if necessary.
Cook each patty for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
Transfer the cooked croquettes to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Serve the salmon croquettes warm, with your choice of dipping sauce or a side salad.
