Salmon Croquette Recipe
The weather just made a shift and it has been pretty cold and rainy at our house. I actually have been ready for the weather to cool down a bit and to be able to cozy up and wear my fall sweaters. Whenever it is rainy or cloudy outside, I am not able to really work or take pictures of food for the blog. This gives me a chance to have a meal ready for the family every night despite how busy things get. Since I am a salmon lover, I LOVE salmon croquettes. The best part about these delicious croquettes is that my kids will eat them and not even realize that they are salmon. They are fast and easy and such a win at our house!

Followed recipe, put my spin on it with my additional seasonings and they came out perfect!!!! Thx so much will use this same recipe in the future and pass it along…
So delicious!! The cilantro really topped them off. I used 3 cans of tuna and a pack of smoked salmon. They were great cold too.
I followed recipe as written. Too much flour and bread crumbs. I could barely taste the salmon at all. The flour and bread crumbs killed the flavor. IF I were to make these again I would cut both those ingredients in half.
Love these. Love the peppers. Added chopped onion. Also added some heat: shaker peppers and cayenne pepper. Used df/gf “cheez” crackers for the bread crumbs so everyone in my fam could eat them. YUM
What flour would you substitute? We don’t do white or wheat flour. thnX
You could try almond flour!
What does “3 5 ounce canned salmon” mean? Is that 3.5 ounces? 3 5ounce cans? I tried 3.5 ounces, and there was way too much panko and flour. ???
It’s three 5- ounce cans!
The recipe allows for adjustment based on the number of servings needed. I used a 14.5 oz. can of salmon & will probably still reduce the amount of panko & cornmeal. Otherwise it was still pretty tasty!
Made these tonight. They were delicious! And I don’t even like fish, including salmon. I just made them because my husband likes salmon and I know o need to since it’s good for you. I didn’t have red pepper so I just increased the green a little and also added a 1/4 c finely minced onion. I didn’t have cilantro, so I subbed about a 1/2 tsp or so of dried dill weed. I also served the croquettes with a delicious dill sauce from another site. I’ll be making again. Thank you!
