Crispy Cajun Salmon Croquettes image

I love salmon patties! My granny (who passed in 2017) made them all the time. Salmon patties and southern cornbread (no sugar!!! that belongs in iced tea) are the two foods I associate with her because she made them so often, and always the same way. This is my own version, in tribute to her. Enjoy!

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 5 oz salmon pouches
1/2 c minced red onion
zest of 1 lemon
juice of 1/2 lemon
2 1/4 tsp cajun seasoning
1 1/2 tsp parsley flakes
1 Tbsp mayonnaise
2 eggs
1 1/4 c cracker crumbs
panko bread crumbs for coating

Steps:

  • 1. Mix salmon, lemon zest, juice, and seasonings in a medium sized mixing bowl.
  • 2. Add eggs, mayo, and cracker crumbs. Mix well. Note: I had some leftover assorted crackers from the holidays that I needed to use up.....but you could use crushed saltines or breadcrumbs.
  • 3. Put the bowl in the fridge and let chill for half an hour.
  • 4. Preheat oven to 450. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and generously coat with oil (I used peanut oil).
  • 5. Spread panko bread crumbs on a large plate. Using a half cup scoop, form patties and coat both sides well with the panko. This made 7 good sized patties.
  • 6. Place on baking sheet and lightly brush tops with more oil. Bake for 10 minutes, flip and bake an additional 8-10 minutes.
  • 7. I served these with a "Boom" sauce that I found on Pinterest and tweaked slightly : BOOM SAUCE 1 cup mayo, 1/3 cup ketchup, 2 T Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, 3/4 teaspoon garlic powder, 2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish, a dab of horseradish, and a pinch of salt. Whisk ingredients and store in fridge.

These croquettes were a bit bland for my taste. I think I needed to add more seasoning.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my croquettes turned out dry and crumbly.

I had some trouble getting the croquettes to stay together. I think I might have needed to add more bread crumbs.

These croquettes were a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved them. He said they were the best salmon croquettes he's ever had.
