Easy Salmon Croquettes Recipe

Step 1

Pour just enough oil into a skillet to cover the salmon croquettes at least half way when they are frying. Heat the vegetable oil over medium heat.

Step 2

While the oil is heating up, place the precooked or packaged salmon in a large bowl. Crack the egg and add it to the salmon.

Step 3

Sprinkle the flour directly into the salmon mixture. Next add the bell peppers and onions.

Step 4

Add the seasoned salt, garlic powder, and black pepper directly into the bowl.

Step 5

Use a spoon and start to mix. Break up the salmon a bit as you mix, if needed. Continue mixing until the flour is fully incorporated into the salmon.

Step 6

The salmon mixture should be easy to roll and form into a patty, if not- continue to add flour until you get the right texture (no more than an additional 1/2 cup).

Step 7

Grab about 1/4 cup of the salmon mixture and roll it into a ball with your hands. Then gently smash it down to form a thick patty.

Step 8

Set them aside and continue this process until all of the salmon has been used.

Step 9

Once all of the patties are formed, gently place them, one at a time, directly into the hot oil. Try not to overcrowd the pan.

Step 10

Fry them for 5 minutes, or until a nice golden brown crust begins to form. Then use a spatula to flip them over and fry on the other side for an additional 5 minutes.

Step 11

Once they are golden brown on all sides, remove them from the oil and place them on a cooling rack (or bed of paper towels), to drain the excess grease.

Step 12

Eat right away!
