Ingredients
  

For the Croquettes
  • 2 cups cooked salmon
  • 1 cup mashed potatoes
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup bread crumbs for coating
  • 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon fresh dill chopped
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
For Cooking
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil for frying
For Serving
  • 1 cup tartar sauce optional for dipping

Method
 

Prepare the Mixture
  1. In a large bowl, combine the cooked salmon, mashed potatoes, egg, dijon mustard, lemon juice, dill, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
  2. Form the mixture into patties, about 2-3 inches in diameter. Place them on a plate and refrigerate for 10 minutes to help them hold their shape.
Coat the Patties
  1. Spread the bread crumbs on a flat plate.
  2. Gently press each patty into the bread crumbs to coat both sides.
Cook the Croquettes
  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Once the oil is hot, add the croquettes in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.
  3. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Drain and Serve
  1. Remove the croquettes from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
  2. Serve warm with tartar sauce if desired.

Notes

For extra flavor, consider adding finely chopped green onions or garlic to the mixture. Ensure the oil is hot enough before adding the patties to achieve maximum crispiness.
