Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 15 oz canned salmon
- 1 large egg
- 2 green onions, finely chopped
- 0.5 red bell pepper, finely diced
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp paprika
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
Drain the canned salmon and remove the skin and bones if desired. Place the salmon in a large mixing bowl.
Add one large egg to the bowl and mix gently to combine.
Add the finely chopped green onions and diced red bell pepper into the bowl with the salmon.
Add breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the bowl.
Mix the ingredients well until fully combined, making sure the mixture is cohesive and holds together.
Form the mixture into 8 equal-sized patties, about 1/2 inch thick.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the patties to the skillet (in batches if necessary, to avoid overcrowding) and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and heated through.
Remove the cooked salmon croquettes from the skillet and drain on paper towels.
Serve warm, garnished with fresh lemon wedges or a dollop of tartar sauce if desired.
