→ Dry Ingredients
02 -
1/2 cup Panko breadcrumbs
03 -
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
04 -
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
05 -
1/2 teaspoon salt
06 -
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
→ Wet Ingredients
07 -
1/2 green bell pepper, cubed
08 -
1/2 red bell pepper, cubed
09 -
1 egg, lightly beaten
10 -
1/4 cup mayonnaise
11 -
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
12 -
1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
13 -
1 tablespoon olive oil
# Instructions:
01 -
If using fresh salmon, cook and flake it into chunks. For canned salmon, drain well and remove any skin or bones, then flake it with a fork, keeping it chunky.
02 -
Whisk together your breadcrumbs, flour, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a large bowl until well combined.
03 -
In another bowl, mix your flaked salmon, bell peppers, beaten egg, mayo, Worcestershire sauce, and cilantro until everything's well combined.
04 -
Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry mix until just combined. If it feels too wet, add more breadcrumbs a bit at a time. For best results, chill the mixture for 15-20 minutes.
05 -
With damp hands, form the mixture into patties. Either fry in hot oil for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown, or bake at 400°F for 10-12 minutes per side.
06 -
Let the croquettes drain on paper towels if fried. Serve while hot with your favorite sauce like tartar sauce or lemon aioli.
