There are many different ways to make Salmon Croquettes, you can fry them bake them, or even air fry them. This version is cooked in olive oil until they're nice and golden brown on both sides.

A note about the salmon
I use wild-caught salmon that I buy from a local farmer's market. The best purchase for these croquettes is salmon that already comes with the skin off so you don't have to go through the pain of trying to remove it yourself. I've done it this way before but it's not fun and can be a bit difficult. My skinless salmon tends to still have a few bones within so what I do is massage the salmon with my hands to see if there are any bones left over.
It's ok if it falls apart, it's all going to end up in the food processor anyway. Next, I'll take a pair of tweezers (I have an extra pair of inexpensive ones for kitchen use) and de-bone the fish. Now it's ready to use!
Remoulade for Salmon Croquettes
As mentioned above, feel free to use greek yogurt if mayo isn't your thing. If you're going to go the Greek yogurt route I would go big on the seasonings. As always, feel free to adjust the flavor according to your particular preference. Fresh herbs always take the cake but if you don't have any, don't fret! Dried herbs work just fine.
Enjoy these Salmon Croquettes!!
