Ingredients
  

  • 15 oz flaked salmon (or 3 cans of 5 oz each, drained and flaked)
  • ½ cup Panko breadcrumbs
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ½ cup diced green bell pepper
  • ½ cup diced red bell pepper
  • 1 large lightly beaten egg
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • ¼ cup chopped cilantro

Equipment

  • Large mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Skillet or baking sheet
  • Tongs or spatula
  • Paper towels

Method
 

  1. Gather your ingredients and measure everything out.
  2. If using fresh salmon, gently flake it with two forks after it cools. Drain and flake canned salmon.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the Panko and flour, and add garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  4. In another bowl, mix flaked salmon, mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce, diced peppers, cilantro, and egg until combined.
  5. Fold the wet ingredients into the dry mix gently. Chill the mixture for 15–20 minutes.
  6. Wet your hands and form the mixture into patties or balls.
  7. Fry the croquettes in hot avocado oil for 2–3 minutes per side or bake at 200°C for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway.
  8. Drain cooked croquettes on paper towels and serve hot with a dipping sauce.

Notes

Feel free to substitute salmon with canned tuna or crab meat, and use almond flour and gluten-free breadcrumbs for a gluten-free option. For extra flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of Dijon mustard to the wet ingredients. To store leftovers, refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze uncooked croquettes for up to 2 months. Reheat baked croquettes to maintain crispiness, and serve with tangy lemon aioli or tartar sauce for a delightful experience!
