Country Fried Salmon Croquettes With Variations Recipes

Steps:

• Combine salmon, eggs, and onion in a bowl. Season with cayenne and salt; mix well. Place fish fry in another bowl.
• Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
• While the oil heats, place a large spoonful of salmon in the palm of your hand and form an oval croquette patty. Place croquettes in the fish fry and flip over to coat. Repeat to form remaining croquettes.
• Working in batches, place croquettes in the hot oil and cook until edges have browned, about 5 minutes. Flip and cook the other side, about 5 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined platter and repeat to cook remaining batches.

Steps:

• 1. Prepare canned salmon by removing bones, skin and cartilage. Place in large bowl. Add rest of croquette ingredients. Mix with fork until just incorporated.
• 2. Using a 1/3 cup measuring cup, form 6 patties to desired thickness. I like mine about 1/2-3/4" thick. Place on large platter.
• 3. Set up a breading station: 1. flour 2. beaten egg 3. Shake & Bake Country Fried Seasoning or similar Dip each patty in that order. Place on platter until ready to fry.
• 4. Add 1-2 TB. of butter to large frying pan. Add enough cooking oil to generously coat the bottom. (I like to fry with grape seed oil.) Fry patties until crisp and golden. Drain briefly on paper towels. Serve on top of a mixed green salad, or any of the variations below.
• 5. Additional serving suggestions/variations: *Knorr Hollandaise Sauce Mix prepared as directed with the addition of 1 tsp. dried dill *Place salmon croquettes atop big, fluffy, country-style biscuits, top with Black Pepper Saw Mill Gravy and serve with coleslaw. *Tartar Sauce *Cocktail Sauce Can also be made into sandwiches. Divide into 4 portions instead of six and add your favorite cabbage slaw or lettuce and tartar sauce, etc. on crusty Kaiser rolls.

Steps:

• Open salmon and drain thoroughly. Place drained salmon in mixing bowl and flake evenly with a fork.
• Add onion, corn meal, flour, mayonnaise, and egg. Stir until well blended.
• Shape the mixture into patties about the size of an average burger or less.
• Cook in oil in skillet over medium heat until browned on each side. Turn once while frying.
• Note: The mayonnaise helps the patties hold their shape and keeps them from being too dry.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, mix together the salmon, egg, celery, green onion, dill, and garlic powder. Form the mixture into golf ball sized balls, and roll in wheat germ to coat.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Flatten the balls slightly, and fry for about 10 minutes, turning as needed, until golden brown.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the salmon, 1/2 cup milk, 1/2 cup crumbs, relish, celery and onion. With wet hands, shape 1/4 cupfuls into cones. Dip into remaining milk, then into remaining crumbs. Heat oil in a deep-fat fryer to 365°. Fry croquettes, a few at a time, for 2 to 2-1/2 minutes or until golden brown, Drain on paper towels; keep warm., In a small saucepan, combine tartar sauce ingredients; cook over medium-low heat until heated through and slightly thickened. Serve warm with croquettes.
