Crunchy Salmon Croquettes Recipes

Steps:

• For Remoulade:
• Combine all the remoulade ingredients, except scallions in a bowl and stir together with a fork to help break up the capers. Mix in scallion and set aside.
• For Croquettes:
• Using a fork flake the salmon meat away from the skin. Discard skin.
• In a medium bowl, beat egg. To the egg, add the fish fry mix, salmon, hot sauce, and 1/4 cup of remoulade sauce. Mix well to combine. Form into 8 patties.
• Pour the remaining fish fry mix into a pie dish or onto a dish. Coat the patties in the remaining fish fry mix and set aside.
• In a large skillet, heat a thin layer of oil over medium to medium-high heat. Without crowding pan, cook patties until golden brown, about 3 to 4 minutes per side.
• Serve croquettes hot with remaining remoulade sauce.

Steps:

• Combine the flour, Worcestershire, hot sauce if using, Dijon, garlic powder, scallions, salmon, onion, 1 of the eggs, 1 teaspoon of the Cajun seasoning, 1 teaspoon salt and several grinds of black pepper in a medium bowl and gently stir with a fork until the flour is fully incorporated. Place the mixture in the refrigerator and chill for at least 30 minutes and up to 1 hour (see Cook's Note).
• Meanwhile, prepare the remoulade sauce by combining the mayonnaise, capers, sweet paprika, cornichons and brine, remaining 2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a small bowl and set aside. (The sauce can be refrigerated, covered, up to 1 hour; serve chilled or at room temperature.)
• Lightly beat the remaining egg in a small bowl. Place the panko in another small bowl and dust your hands lightly with flour. Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, scoop the salmon mixture, shape it into an oblong croquette about 2 inches long and set on a large plate. Repeat to make a total of 8 croquettes. (Alternatively, these can be shaped into round patties). Working 1 croquette at a time, dip into the egg and then roll in the panko to coat completely, gently pressing so it adheres.
• Heat the canola oil a large skillet over high heat until 350 degrees F on a deep-fry thermometer or by testing: Add a small piece of the salmon mixture to the oil; it should bubble vigorously and float to the top. Line a plate with paper towels.
• Carefully place the croquettes in the oil, making sure to leave space in between to ensure even cooking. Cook until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to the lined plate and let cool slightly. Serve warm with the remoulade sauce.

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.

Steps:

• If using canned salmon, drain and discard the liquid. Flake the salmon into a large bowl; set aside.
• Heat olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium and sauté peppers and onions until translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Add garlic and sauté for another 30 seconds; let cool slightly.
• Add the sautéed veggies to the bowl with the salmon, along with 1 egg, 1/4 cup flour, the parsley, seafood seasoning, hot sauce, salt and pepper. Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for 20 minutes, or pop into the freezer for 5 to 10 minutes.
• Using your hands, shape the chilled mixture into 1-inch-thick patties.
• Set up three separate plates or shallow bowls: one filled with the remaining 1/4 cup flour, another with the egg and a third with the panko. Season the panko with the seasoning of your choice, then lightly dip each croquette into the flour, egg then panko, coating to cover. Set the croquettes aside.
• Wipe out the same pan, and heat about 1/4 cup vegetable or canola oil over medium. Drop a bread crumb in the oil, and see if it sizzles.
• Gently place croquettes in oil, making sure not to crowd the pan, and pan fry until golden brown on both sides, about 3 to 5 minutes per side.
• Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and serve warm, with tartar sauce or hot sauce if desired.
