Ingredients

Scale

For the Salmon Croquettes

  • 1 cup cooked salmon (fresh or canned), flaked and bones removed
  • 1/2 cup bread crumbs (use gluten-free if needed)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter for frying

For the Dill Sauce

  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon mustard
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Salmon Mixture: Flake the cooked salmon into small pieces, removing any bones or skin. In a large bowl, combine the salmon with finely chopped onion, mayonnaise, eggs, and bread crumbs until the mixture holds together but remains moist.
  2. Form the Croquettes: Shape the mixture into small, evenly sized patties about 2-3 inches across to ensure even cooking and ease when flipping.
  3. Make the Dill Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, fresh chopped dill, lemon juice, and mustard. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Refrigerate to let flavors meld.
  4. Cook the Croquettes: Heat olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat. Fry each croquette for approximately 4 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
  5. Serve Warm with Dill Sauce: Plate the hot croquettes with a generous dollop of dill sauce. Garnish with extra fresh dill or lemon wedges for a bright presentation.

Notes

  • Use day-old bread crumbs for better texture and crispiness.
  • Gently combine ingredients to avoid dense croquettes.
  • Maintain medium heat while frying to cook croquettes evenly without burning.
  • Prepare dill sauce ahead to enhance flavor development.
  • Test one croquette first to check seasoning and texture before cooking all.
