Baked or fried, these delicious patties come out crispy on the outside and firm and flavorful on the inside!
Ingredients :
2 ½ cups flaked salmon or 14.75 ounce can pink salmon, bones removed
1 cup Panko bread crumbs
1 large egg whisked
1 clove garlic minced, or ½ teaspoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives or ¼ teaspoon onion powder
2 tablespoons finely diced red bell pepper
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons lemon zest
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
3 tablespoons olive oil divided
Directions :
Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine flaked salmon, panko bread crumbs, egg, garlic, chives, red bell pepper, mayonnaise, parsley, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, lemon zest, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Gently combine the ingredients.
Using a slightly heaping ¼ cup measuring cup, scoop the mixture and form it into 9 patties. Press them together gently but firmly so they hold their shape and don't fall apart during baking.
Place the salmon croquettes on the prepared baking sheet, and bake them in the preheated oven for 13-15 minutes or until they're lightly browned and cooked through.
