Easy Salmon Croquettes
Description
Easy Salmon Croquettes bring together canned salmon with diced green and red bell peppers, seasoned with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Panko breadcrumbs and all-purpose flour provide structure and crispness, while mayonnaise and Worcestershire sauce add moisture and savory depth. Lightly beaten egg binds the mixture uniformly. Fresh cilantro folded into the croquette mix contributes a fresh note to the flavor profile.
The mixture is formed into six to eight patties, which are cooked over medium-high heat with a small amount of vegetable oil. Frying for 2 to 3 minutes per side creates a golden crust while keeping the interior tender. The croquettes have a balanced texture, combining crisp edges with a soft, moist center.
These croquettes are suitable for serving as a light main course or appetizer, accompanied by a dipping sauce or salad. They cook quickly, making them practical when using canned salmon and fresh ingredients to create a flavorful homemade dish.
