Steps:
- Drain the liquid from the canned salmon into a measuring cup. Flake the salmon into a large bowl, and set aside.
- In a large bowl, gently mix the canned salmon, eggs, onion, garlic, ¼ cup breadcrumbs, white pepper, green onions, hot sauce, Cajun seasoning, and salt.
- Grab about 2-3 tablespoons of the mixture, then shape it into a croquette using your hands into an oval shape - just like an egg. Repeat the process until the salmon mixture is all used up.
- Lightly dip the croquettes into the extra egg mixture until it is completely coated. Then roll them in breadcrumbs. Set aside.
- Heat a small non-stick frying pan with medium-high heat, then add about ½ cup of oil. Let the oil heat until it reaches about 350℉/177℃.
- Gently place croquette in oil using a frying spoon, if needed, then fry about two minutes per side or until golden brown. You may have to do it in batches to prevent the croquettes from getting soggy.
- Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels and serve warm with remoulade sauce.

SALMON CROQUETTES CORNMEAL STYLE
I have prepared these 3 ways: Fried, browned, and oven baked (baked add 15 more minutes to passive cooking). This is the Southern twist as I don't know any other way. If you ask DH what he's hungry for, he'll ALWAYS ask for these.

Steps:
- Open and drain cans of salmon. Clean by removing skin and bones. (If you miss a few of the tiny bones, don't worry, salmon is so forgiving--they're brittle and edible).
- In a medium bowl, add salmon and the next 9 ingredients and mix well.
- If you're pan browning or baking, form 8 patties (flying saucer shape).
- If you're frying, form 8-10 round balls.
- Once the croquettes are formed, roll or dredge in 1/2 cup cornmeal in a shallow bowl.
- PAN BROWNING: On med-high, heat 3 tablespoons olive oil and pan brown 4 patties at a time, making sure they don't touch and you have room to flip each one easily. Brown on each side approximately 3 minutes each. Lay a paper towel on a plate and place the first 4 patties. ADD 3 tablespoons more olive oil for remaining patties.
- BAKING: Preheat oven to 400°F; lay 8 patties in a metal 9x13-inch pan and Pam spray the top of each. Bake for 10-15 minutes and flip and continue baking for another 10-15 minutes.
- FRYING: In a large skillet on medium high heat, add enough oil to cover 1/3 the height of the croquette. Fry 4 at a time giving you room to roll them on all sides until the entire piece is nicely browned (4-5 minutes). Drain on paper towels.
- Eat them plain or I offer homemade tartar sauce and seafood cocktail sauce as condiments.

Tips for Making the Best Salmon Croquettes:
- Use fresh, high-quality salmon. This will ensure that your croquettes are flavorful and moist.
- Flake the salmon into small pieces. This will help the croquettes to hold their shape.
- Use a combination of bread crumbs and flour to coat the croquettes. This will help them to stay crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
- Season the croquettes well with salt, pepper, and other spices. This will help to enhance the flavor of the salmon.
- Fry the croquettes in hot oil until they are golden brown. This will help to create a crispy crust.
- Serve the croquettes hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
