Ingredients

• 15 oz Canned salmon (bones removed, drained)
• 1 cup Cornmeal (fine-ground)
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 Eggs
• 0.5 cup Yellow onion (finely diced)
• 0.5 cup Celery (finely diced)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 cup Vegetable oil (for frying)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the canned salmon (flaked), diced onions, celery, and chopped parsley. Mix well.

Step 2

Add the Dijon mustard, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to the salmon mixture. Stir to combine.

Step 3

Crack the eggs into the bowl, then add the all-purpose flour. Mix until a thick, cohesive mixture forms. If the mixture appears too loose, add a small amount of additional flour.

Step 4

Place the cornmeal in a shallow dish or plate. Shape the salmon mixture into small patties (about 2-3 inches in diameter), then coat each patty in the cornmeal, ensuring the exterior is fully covered.

Step 5

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the patties in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.

Step 6

Fry the croquettes for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Transfer the cooked croquettes to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Step 7

Serve the salmon croquettes warm with your favorite dipping sauce or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
