"Savory Salmon Croquettes: Fresh No Can, Flaky, Fantastic"

 

🧾 Ingredients

• 1¼ lbs skinless fresh salmon, finely chopped
• 1 cup panko bread crumbs, divided
• 2½ tbsp fresh parsley, minced
• 2 green onions, chopped
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 3 tbsp mayonnaise
• 1½ tsp lemon zest
• 1 tsp Dijon mustard
• ¾ tsp Old Bay seasoning
• 1 egg yolk
• Salt & pepper to taste
• 6 tbsp olive oil, for frying
• Lemon wedges, for serving

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Prep the Salmon:
   Finely chop the salmon into ¼-inch pieces (or pulse briefly in a food processor). You want a sausage-like texture—not mushy.
2. Mix the Base:
   In a large bowl, combine ¼ cup panko, parsley, green onions, garlic, mayo, lemon zest, mustard, Old Bay, egg yolk, salt, and pepper. Stir in the chopped salmon until evenly coated.
3. Form Patties:
   Divide mixture into 8 portions (about ⅓ cup each). Shape into 3-inch patties.
4. Coat in Panko:
   Press both sides of each patty into the remaining ¾ cup panko for a crunchy crust.
5. Fry to Perfection:
   Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high. Fry patties 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
6. Serve:
   Drain on paper towels. Serve warm with lemon wedges, tartar sauce, or a dill yogurt dip.
