Salmon Croquettes
(Makes 4 large or 6 small patties)
Author: Abel Fitness
Recipe type: Entrees
Serves: 4-6
Ingredients
- 16 ounce can of salmon
- ½ cup of chopped onion (If you don’t like onions, leave them out.)
- ⅔ cup of bread crumbs
- 2 eggs beaten (sometimes one egg is enough if you use jumbo or extra large eggs)
- ¼ cup olive oil (You just want enough oil to heat the pan and keep the salmon patties from sticking and burning. I don’t use a quarter cup.)
Instructions
- Drain the salmon and save juice in a bowl in case it’s needed later. (I have never needed it to moisten the ingredients more.)
- Cook onions in a non-stick pan with no oil until tender. If the onions stick add just a touch of olive oil.
- Put the salmon in a large bowl with the beaten eggs, cooked onions and bread crumbs. Mix really well. (I use my hands. It’s easier.)
- Make the mixture into patties. (The patties should be moist, not too dry but not too wet. If the patties seem dry, add a little bit of the salmon juice to get the texture right.)
- Cook in a pan with about a quarter cup of olive oil (Or enough to make sure the patties don’t burn, I don’t use this much. I eye it.). Cook on medium to medium high heat for about 3 minutes on each side or until the patties have a golden brown color on the bottom, but aren’t burned.
