Ingredients for Salmon Croquettes
Salmon: Choose fresh salmon if possible—leftover salmon works well. If you’re making grilled salmon, add a few extra fillets to make these salmon cakes. Canned salmon can also be used.
Breadcrumbs & Eggs: These two ingredients help hold everything together. Panko breadcrumbs can be replaced with cracker crumbs also work. If using regular breadcrumbs, use 2 tablespoons less because the have a finer texture.
Flavors: Fresh herbs, old bay seasoning, a bit of finely diced red onion, or a dash of Worcestershire sauce add great flavor to this recipe.

Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine flaked salmon, panko bread crumbs, egg, garlic, chives, red bell pepper, mayonnaise, parsley, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, lemon zest, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Gently combine the ingredients.
-
Using a slightly heaping ¼ cup measuring cup, scoop the mixture and form it into 9 patties. Press them together gently but firmly so they hold their shape and don’t fall apart during baking.
-
Place the salmon croquettes on the prepared baking sheet, and bake them in the preheated oven for 13-15 minutes or until they’re lightly browned and cooked through.
The patties won’t hold together as tight as a hamburger so be gentle when handling them.
Store leftovers in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat on a frying pan until heated through.
