  • Total Time: 2 hours 10 minutes
  • Yield: 10 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup panko
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 3 tablespoons flour
  • 1/4 cup thinly sliced green onions
  • 1 tablespoon chopped dill weed
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon cajun seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp each salt, ground mustard
  • pinch of cayenne, optional
  • 3 5-oz. cans salmon, drained, patted dry (or fresh equivalent, cooked)
  • 1/2 cup panko
  • 1/4 cup vegetable, canola, or peanut oil for pan frying
  • 1/2 cup plain greek yogurt (nonfat works)
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon chopped dill
  • 1 garlic clove, minced (or ¼ tsp powder)
  • 1 ½ teaspoons lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
  • 1/4 tsp each dried oregano, dried parsley
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 recipe remoulade
  • 1 recipe tartar sauce

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the first set of ingredients.
  2. Gently fold in the salmon, ensuring not to break it too much for nice flakes.
  3. Divide the mixture into 10 portions and shape into 2/3" thick patties. Freeze for 60 minutes or refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk the dill sauce ingredients and refrigerate until serving time. Prepare a wire rack with paper towels.
  5. Coat the patties in the remaining panko, pressing firmly to adhere.
  6. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Cook the croquettes in batches, about 2-3 minutes per side, until golden and heated through.
  7. Transfer the cooked croquettes to the paper towel-lined rack to drain excess oil.
  8. Serve warm with optional salt, pepper, freshly squeezed lemon, along with the sauce of your choice.
