Salmon Croquette1 (5)
Here’s a quick and simple meal that you can make in a pinch with a few pantry ingredients and fresh herbs. I love salmon croquettes and will make these when in a hurry. It can be made with roasted salmon or canned salmon; be sure to pick out all bones and remove the skin. I used canned salmon for this recipe and used a herbs and pepper to bring a fresh element to the dish.  These can be served with a seasoned rice or side salad or even on a bun!  Turn these into an appetizer by making them smaller and serving with tartar sauce.Salmon Croquette1 (1)
