Ingredients
1 (14.75 oz) can pink or sockeye salmon, drained and flaked (or 1½ cups cooked salmon)
1/2 cup breadcrumbs (or crushed saltine crackers)
1/4 cup finely diced onion
2 tablespoons finely diced green bell pepper (optional)
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon Dijon or yellow mustard
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional)
2–3 tablespoons oil (for pan-frying)
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine salmon, breadcrumbs, onion, bell pepper (if using), eggs, mayo, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, paprika, salt, pepper, and parsley.
Mix until well combined. Form into 6–8 patties, about 1/2 inch thick.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add croquettes and cook for 3–4 minutes per side, until golden brown and crisp.
Transfer to a paper towel–lined plate. Serve hot with lemon wedges, hot sauce, or your favorite dip.
Notes
For a gluten-free version, use GF breadcrumbs or almond flour.
Chill patties for 20–30 minutes before frying to help them hold shape.
Great for meal prep—reheat in a skillet or air fryer.
Serve with coleslaw, a salad, or on a bun as a salmon burger.
