Ingredients

• 14 ounces canned salmon, drained
• 2 large egg whites
• 0.25 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 0.5 cup whole wheat breadcrumbs
• 0.25 cup green onions, finely chopped
• 0.25 cup red bell pepper, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0 olive oil spray

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the drained canned salmon, ensuring to flake it apart into small pieces.

Step 2

Add the egg whites, Greek yogurt, breadcrumbs, green onions, red bell pepper, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt to the salmon.

Step 3

Mix all the ingredients together until they are fully combined and hold together when formed into patties.

Step 4

Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each one into a patty, about 2 to 3 inches in diameter.

Step 5

Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly spray with olive oil.

Step 6

Place the salmon croquettes in the skillet, being careful not to overcrowd the pan; you may need to cook them in batches.

Step 7

Cook for about 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.

Step 8

Once cooked, remove the croquettes from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.

Step 9

Serve the low-fat salmon croquettes warm, with your choice of side salad or steamed vegetables.
