SALMON CROQUETTES CORNMEAL STYLE



Salmon Croquettes Cornmeal Style image

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.

Categories     < 30 Mins

Time 30m

Yield 4-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 (14 3/4 ounce) cans pink salmon
1/4 cup cornmeal
1/3 cup egg substitute (or 2 eggs)
2 tablespoons onions, grated or 2 tablespoons onions, finely chopped
1 teaspoon seasoning salt
1/2 teaspoon lemon pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce (optional)
1 teaspoon Tabasco sauce (optional) or 1 teaspoon louisiana hot sauce (optional)
2 tablespoons parsley, chopped (optional)
1/2 cup cornmeal

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:

  • Use high-quality canned salmon for the best flavor and texture.
  • Be sure to drain the salmon well before flaking it, to prevent the croquettes from becoming too wet.
  • For a crispier coating, roll the croquettes in breadcrumbs twice, pressing them firmly into the crumbs the second time.
  • If you don't have a deep fryer, you can shallow-fry the croquettes in a large skillet over medium heat, using about 1/2 inch of oil.
  • Serve the croquettes with your favorite dipping sauce, such as tartar sauce, lemon-herb mayonnaise, or rémoulade.

Conclusion:

Old-fashioned salmon croquettes are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. They are a great way to use up leftover salmon, and they can be served with a variety of sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple green salad.
