Salmon Croquettes with Dill Sauce
Description
The recipe starts by draining canned unsalted salmon and removing skin and bones before combining it with finely chopped celery, white onion, beaten eggs, salt, and black pepper. The mixture is shaped into eight patties that hold together despite their delicate texture.
These patties are pan-fried in olive oil until browned on both sides, about five minutes per side, providing a crispy exterior and tender inside. A sauce made from plain yogurt or light sour cream, Dijon mustard, fresh dill, and onion is prepared separately and served alongside the croquettes to add a fresh herbal and tangy element.
This dish can be served as a light main course or starter. The croquettes' mild flavor makes them versatile with sides such as salad or steamed vegetables.
For a firmer texture, adding about three-quarters of a cup of breadcrumbs to the salmon mixture is recommended to help the patties hold better during cooking.
