Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 14 ounces canned salmon, drained
- 2 large egg whites
- 0.25 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 0.5 cup whole wheat breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup green onions, finely chopped
- 0.25 cup red bell pepper, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- olive oil spray
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the drained canned salmon, ensuring to flake it apart into small pieces.
Add the egg whites, Greek yogurt, breadcrumbs, green onions, red bell pepper, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt to the salmon.
Mix all the ingredients together until they are fully combined and hold together when formed into patties.
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each one into a patty, about 2 to 3 inches in diameter.
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly spray with olive oil.
Place the salmon croquettes in the skillet, being careful not to overcrowd the pan; you may need to cook them in batches.
Cook for about 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Once cooked, remove the croquettes from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.
Serve the low-fat salmon croquettes warm, with your choice of side salad or steamed vegetables.
