Could you please give me a recipe for Salmon Croquettes?

Mine always fall apart as I'm frying them.Could you please give me a recipe for Salmon Croquettes?
1 12 oz can pink salmon


2 Whole eggs


1/4 cup chopped onion


1/4 cup all purpose flour


2 tablespoons yellow corn meal


1/2 teaspoon salt (depending upon the


brand and how much salt is in it you


can leave this out if you want.


1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper





You basically pour all of the ingredients into


a large bowl and mix them. A large spoon or a


potato masher worked fine. I add the flour last


because I sometimes adust the amount to control the


consistency. Mold the dough-like mix that you


end up with into patties (like thick homemade


hamburgers).








Coat a frying pan with a little cooking oil. Crisco


works just fine. Preheat the oiled pan over medium


heat. Slip the patties into the pan, fitting as


many as you can but leaving room to turn them. Cook


until medium brown on one side, then turn over and


do the same to the other side.Could you please give me a recipe for Salmon Croquettes?

Hey! I love salmon! It is my fave fish. I found this first recipe about a year ago on allrecipes.com. I love it. I try to make it atleast once a month for my husband and myself. I hope you will try it. It is really good and they never fall apart on me. I also searched for some more on the internet that sounded good to me. I will be adding them to my recipe file to try, but I thought you might like to see them too. Hope this helps! Good luck! Take care and God Bless! :)








Salmon Croquettes (this is the recipe that I use all the time; Yum!)





INGREDIENTS





1 (6 ounce) can salmon, drained and flaked


1 egg


1/4 cup finely chopped celery


1/4 cup sliced green onion


1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill weed


1/2 teaspoon garlic powder


1/3 cup wheat germ


3 tablespoons olive oil





DIRECTIONS


In a medium bowl, mix together the salmon, egg, celery, green onion, dill, and garlic powder. Form the mixture into golf ball sized balls, and roll in wheat germ to coat.


Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Flatten the balls slightly, and fry for about 10 minutes, turning as needed, until golden brown.








Salmon Croquettes





1 small can red* salmon, boned, but not drained


1/2 cup Vidalia or other sweet type onion, peeled, chopped small


1 large egg, beaten lightly with a fork


2 tablespoons Self-Rising Flour (more if needed)


1/2 teaspoon table salt


1/8 teaspoon black pepper (to taste)


Peanut oil or Vegetable oil for frying





PREPARE SALMON CROQUETTES OR PATTIES: Open can of salmon and remove bones. Don't worry about the very tiny, soft bones. Place salmon and liquid in a medium bowl. Set aside. Peel and chop enough mild onion to equal 1/2 cup. Place in a small bowl. Add 1 Tablespoon water (no more). Cover with waxed paper and microwave on HIGH for 2 minutes. Add onion and liquid to salmon. Stir in with a fork. Beat an egg lightly with a fork and stir it into the salmon and onion mixture. Stir in rest of ingredients with a large spoon or fork. DON'T use too much flour -- You want the croquettes or patties to be somewhat wet. Now heat fresh oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Check oil temperature listening for a ';sizzle'; when you add a drop of water. Then it is ready for frying. Add salmon mixture by scant Tablespoons to hot oil. Do NOT crowd in pan. Allow to cook until they are nicely browned on one side. Turn croquettes or patties once with a spatula. Continue cooking on other side until browned. Remove with a slotted cooking tool or tongs. Drain well and place on a rack to drain (best way) or, on paper towels. Serve hot with lemon and mild catsup at the table or Seafood Sauce as: Crosse %26amp; Blackwell Seafood Sauce.





* RED salmon is more expensive, but WORTH the difference. It has a much better flavor than Pink Salmon --








Salmon Croquettes





1 Can salmon drained well, picked clean of all bones, rinsed in clean water


1 medium size onion finely chopped


dash salt %26amp; pepper


1 cup bread crumbs -- OR -- Instant potatoes


1 tablespoons lemon juice


1 beaten egg


1 teaspoon paprika


1 tablespoons dried parsley


1 teaspoon dried cumin





Directions


Mix all ingredients together, making the salmon mix into cakes. Fry in small amt. of 100% pure virgin olive oil, or a good corn oil, till golden on one side, then flip over %26amp; brown on second side. Drain on paper towels.





I usually make a tossed salad with this dish, plus baked potatoes.


If mixture, when ready to form into ';cakes'; does not seem moist enough, add 1tablespoon milk. If Mix is too moist, add sprinkle of instant potatoes till consistency is corrected.





(p.s. Sometimes I add instant potatoes instead of bread crumbs, they turn out just as good)








Salmon Croquettes





1 can salmon, drained


1 medium onion, grated or whirred in the food processor


salt and pepper


1/4 cup flour


1 1/2 cups milk


1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, to taste (about)


1 cup seasoned bread crumbs (about)


2 eggs, beaten


2 tablespoons butter


sunflower oil (for frying)





In a large frypan, heat butter over medium high heat, and sautee onion and garlic powder.


Add salmon, season with salt and pepper (you may wish to add dill) and heat through.


Add flour and stir well.


Add milk gradually stirring constantly until mixture thickens and forms a ball.


Remove mixture to plate and allow to cool completely (this may be done the day before, and the mixture placed in the refrig--it's easier to work with this way).


Form into oval shaped croquettes, dip in egg and dredge in bread crumbs.


Deep fry in hot oil, and drain on paper towels.


This recipe can be made with practically anything, fish, chicken, ham, vegetables (spinach is lovely).








P.S. To me, while I was searching on the Internet, a lot of the salmon croquette recipe's were almost the same. I think if you just try each of them, you can get a taste of what tastes best to you and sort of make your own recipe. I hope this helps! :)

One 14 3/4 ounce can Salmon; drained, black skin and bones removed


2 eggs room temperature, whip with fork


10 small squares crackers


Salt %26amp; Pepper %26amp; Spices and flavor enhancers* to taste;


(*I like citrus blend spice ; or Italian blend spices;


or about 3 tablespoons finely shredded onions added to Italian spices;


or about 1/2 small carrot; finely shredded (will add moistness and a sort of


sweetness to the taste)


Olive and canola oil, about 3 tablespoons or just enough to coat bottom of frying pan


Garnish optional [Tartar sauce; fresh lemon; cilantro]





Method:


Using a mortar pestle, grind spices and crackers to moderately fine powder.


Place salmon in glass or stainless bowl, separate into flakes; no clumps or solid fish.


Add eggs; stir.


Add spices to taste; stir.

Cooking:





Add oil to pan heat to moderate heat or 350 degrees F. (adding a little canola will allow you to cook at this higher temperature without the olive oil smoking or blacking)





Form patties, place patties into heated oil. Cover; fry until golden brown; flip, cover, fry until golden brown. Remove from heat and remove from pan.





Salmon Pattie Menu ideas:


Great with sweet/sugar peas, slaw, potatoes, lemonade or tea.
