Ingredients

• 15 oz Canned salmon
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 cup Chickpea flour
• 1 small, finely chopped Onion
• 0.5 medium, finely chopped Red bell pepper
• 2 stalks, finely chopped Green onions
• 2 cloves, minced Garlic
• 2 tbsp, finely chopped Fresh parsley
• 1 tbsp Lemon juice
• 1 tsp Dijon mustard
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 3 tbsp Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Open the canned salmon and drain well. Transfer the salmon to a large mixing bowl and flake it with a fork, picking out any large bones.

Step 2

Add the eggs, chickpea flour, finely chopped onion, red bell pepper, green onions, minced garlic, and parsley to the bowl with the salmon.

Step 3

Mix in the lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. Stir until all ingredients are well combined and the mixture holds together.

Step 4

Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each into a patty, pressing firmly to ensure they hold together.

Step 5

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the salmon patties to the skillet, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook in batches if necessary.

Step 6

Cook each patty for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside.

Step 7

Transfer the cooked croquettes to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.

Step 8

Serve the salmon croquettes warm, with your choice of dipping sauce or a side salad.
