Fresh Salmon

Fresh salmon is the star of the show in this recipe. You’ll need about 1 pound of skinless fillets. Salmon is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, making it not just delicious but also highly nutritious. Look for bright pink fillets without any dark spots to ensure freshness.

Breadcrumbs

Use 1 cup of plain breadcrumbs to give the croquettes structure and crunch. Breadcrumbs absorb moisture while providing a crispy exterior when fried. You can use store-bought or make your own by finely grinding stale bread.

Onion

Chop 1 small onion finely to add flavor to your croquettes. Onions bring sweetness and depth to the dish when cooked. They should be sautéed until translucent to enhance their natural sweetness before mixing into the batter.

Garlic

Using 2 cloves of minced garlic adds an aromatic kick to your croquettes. Garlic complements the salmon beautifully and infuses the mix with flavor. Make sure to sauté it lightly to avoid bitterness.

Egg

One large egg acts as a binder in this recipe. It helps hold all the ingredients together while also adding richness to the croquette mixture. Whisk it lightly before combining it with other ingredients.

Fresh Parsley

Chop 2 tablespoons of fresh parsley for added color and freshness. Parsley not only enhances the visual appeal of your dish but also contributes a bright flavor that balances well with salmon.

Lemon Juice

A tablespoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice adds acidity that brightens up the flavors in the croquettes. The citrus zest cuts through the richness of the fish, making every bite refreshing.
