What’s the difference in salmon cakes and salmon Croquettes? There is definitely a difference.  Salmon cakes are more rustic, with simple ingredients and have a flat, patty-like shape. Croquettes, on the other hand, may include more complex flavors, such as onions, and are larger, rounder and thicker and have more spices. 

 

 Salmon Croquettes

 

 1 lb. Fresh Salmon Filet

2 tablespoons butter

1 tablespoon of olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

1/2 cup Italian Breadcrumbs

1/2 cup Chopped Green Onion

½ cup Italian Breadcrumbs

2 Large Eggs

Juice of one lemon

1 tablespoon Old Bay Seasoning

1 teaspoon black Pepper

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder

1/2 teaspoon onion salt

1 tablespoon parsley

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

First make your salmon filet.  Remove skin and any bones you’re your filet and place in a large skillet with some olive oil and butter. Cook for 10 minutes and then flip to other side and cook another 5 minutes until salmon easily flakes with a fork.  Remove from heat and set aside to cool. 

  

Chop the onions into small pieces and place in a large bowl.  Add breadcrumbs, eggs and seasonings to the same bowl and stir to combine.

 

 

 

Using two forks, flake the salmon into pieces and add to bowl. Toss to combine all ingredients. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Place in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to chill.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Remove from refrigerator and using your hands, form salmon mixture into round balls. 

 

Dredge the balls into breadcrumbs making sure you roll them around to coat well.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Heat the same skillet to medium high heat and add another tablespoon of olive oil. 

  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Fry salmon balls for 3 minutes on each side until golden brown.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Remove from heat and place on paper towels to absorb any excess oil. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Serve warm with rice or any side veggie.
