How To Make Pan-Fried Salmon Croquettes Recipe
- In a large bowl, mix together the salmon, breadcrumbs, black pepper, and salt. Once mixed well, shape the mixture into eight equal balls.
- Dip each ball into the beaten eggs and then roll in the cornmeal until completely coated. Flatten each ball lightly to give it a proper croquette shape.
- Heat your pan over medium heat. Add enough oil for frying.
- Fry each croquette for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Remove and place on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
- Serve hot and enjoy!
Tips For The Best Results
- Make sure your oil is hot before adding the croquettes to avoid sogginess.
- Try not to overcrowd the pan. Frying in batches ensures even browning.
Storage Tips
- Stored in an airtight container, these croquettes will last up to 3 days in the fridge.
- For longer storage, freeze them. Just reheat in the oven when ready to eat.
