Salmon Croquettes

Level of difficulty: Easy














  • One large can or 2 fillets of salmon (pink or red) fresh is best, canned is acceptable as well

  • 1/2 onion diced

  • 1 stalk celery diced

  • 2 cloves garlic minced

  • 1/2 handful fresh cilantro or coriander cut finely

  • 1/4 handful fresh parsley cut finely

  • 1/4 handful fresh basil cut finely

  • 2 eggs

  • 1/4 cup flour

  • 1/4 cup yellow corn meal

  • tsp salt

  • 1/2 tsp pepper (cayenne is best, can be hot if you like a kick. use it. black pepper will work as well

  • lemon or lime zest small amount (finely grated lemon or lime peel)

  • 1 mild red chille diced finely (de-seeded)

  • if using fresh salmon lightly fry on both sides in 2 tsp olive oil with dab butter until slightly underdone.

  • incorporate into mixture.
Mix ingredients in bowl, and form into patties. Carefully coat both sides of patty in corn meal and fry (not DEEP FRY) till golden brown. Serve with lemon and lime and sprinkle lightly with dill. I suggest fresh dill if available but dried will do. Should be crispy on outside moist on inside.
Hit me back, and let me know how things went. Any ?'s I'll be honoured to assist you.
