Mini Salmon Cakes with Sriracha Lemon Aioli - the perfect appetizer for holiday entertaining!

These delicious Southern Salmon Croquettes are a quick and easy soul food classic done right!  Nice and tender on the inside full of salmon flavor and aromatics, yet crunchy and delicious on the exterior from an irresistible cornmeal breading, you will make these time and time again. 

Southern Salmon Croquettes

(14.75) pink salmon can (with bones removed)

self rising flour

onion

green pepper

tsp worcheshire sauce

tsp red pepper flakes

tsp black pepper

yellow cornmeal (optional (you can omit or use flour if you prefer))

vegetable oil

In a large bowl, add salmon, flour, onion, green pepper, egg, worcheshire sauce, salt, pepper flakes and black pepper and mix until well combined.  The mixture will be somewhat softer and looser so you will have to handle with care but don’t worry, they will fry up just fine.

Add cornmeal to a plate and set aside.

Shape medium to small sized patties then carefully roll in cornmeal and set aside. (If you want to make them easier to work with, add to the refrigerator for about 15 minutes to firm up more).

Add oil to cast iron skillet and heat until oil reaches 375.  Fry croquettes until golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes on each side, and drain on paper towels then serve.
