How to Make Best Ever Salmon Croquettes
- Drain the 16 oz can of salmon, reserving 1/4 cup of the liquid. Gently flake the salmon, removing any bones or skin.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flaked salmon, 1 large egg, and 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour. Mix thoroughly.
- Stir in 1 cup of instant potato flakes, 1/4 cup of finely chopped yellow onion, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1 teaspoon of baking powder and the reserved 1/4 cup of salmon liquid until smooth.
- Gently fold the baking powder mixture into the salmon mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Shape the mixture into 24 small croquettes. (Alternatively, make larger croquettes for fewer servings.)
- Heat 2 cups of vegetable oil in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C).
- Carefully place the croquettes in the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 3-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove the croquettes from the oil and place them on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Serve warm and enjoy! These are delicious on their own or with your favorite dipping sauce.
