Salmon Croquettes serve flaky salmon inside a potato cake base. Top with creamy gravy for a Lenten meal or Fish Fridays.
I’m a big fan of stretching meals by using leftovers. Salmon or leftover mashed potatoes won’t go to waste. Truth be told, I’ve been known to make a little extra of both just in case I’m hungry for croquettes. Which is more often than I’ll admit.
That’s because I’m a big fan of potato cakes. Food dredged in flour, egg and bread crumbs then fried should probably eaten in moderation.
Adding salmon makes it healthier, right? 😉
This week our Recipes from Our Dinner Table group is sharing seafood recipes.
Are you crazy for crabs? Addicted to Ahi? This event is for you! Whether you do a Fish Friday or give up meat for Lent we could all use a little more recipes from the sea.
I don’t abstain from eating meat for Lent. I know a lot of people who do.
I enjoy salmon all year round. Seafood too. Clams, mussels, tuna, and more are on my menu.
Seafood recipes are always on my radar. If one sounds exceptionally good, it goes on my must make list.
Salmon recipes go straight to the top of the list.
Sharing my Salmon Croquettes recipe gives me another reason to whip up some for you! Win, win!
I want to share a secret shortcut with you for making these salmon croquettes in half the time.
I used instant mashed potatoes and pouch salmon.
Instant potatoes cuts down on the cook time. No boiling or mashing. Pouch salmon is clean and ready to use. Perfect for a dish like this one.
