Linda's Salmon Croquetts

First off, my mother sets it off in the kitchen! The. End. When we were growing up cans of salmon were a mainstay at our crib. It was cheap and filling! With three mouths to feed you better believe we ate plenty! When I got out on my own I never purchased a single can! I was too high brow for some canned fish (EYEROLL)

Couple of years ago LBeezy comes to visit (she always cooks when she visits!) she whips up a batch with her famous from scratch biscuits with Blackburns syrup! Bay bey, you would have never thought I'd ever had any. We bashed! I asked and she rattled off the recipe like nothing and I've been making them ever since! The recipe is simple: can of salmon, half chopped onion, pepper, tblsp self rising flour and the same of cornmeal, garlic powder, and for extra kick cayenne, fried in olive oil. So delicious!

I KEEP a can in the pantry now...not so high brow anymore!  Hope you enjoy!

Linda's Salmon Croquettes

What You Will Need

• 1 Can Salmon
• 1 small onion, chopped
• I egg
• About 1-2 tbsp of self rising flour
• About 1-2 tbsp cornmeal
• Garlic powder, pepper, salt, cayenne to taste (I never use salt)
• Enough Olive Oil to fry but NOT deep fry (You can certainly use a different type of frying oil)

What To Do

• Add olive oil to a frying pan and heat on medium high heat
• Mix remaining ingredients
• You want the consistency such that you can easily form round patties with a spoon.  The mixture shouldnt be drippy but it shouldnt be dry either
• Place rounded patties in hot oil and fry until golden, about 3-5 minutes per side depending on the size of your croquettes
• Drain on paper towel and enjoy!
