Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained salmon (or leftover salmon), diced onion, egg, bread crumbs, garlic powder, seasoning salt, lemon juice, and black pepper. Mix until everything is well incorporated.
-
Step 2.
Form the salmon mixture into patties of your desired size and set them aside on a plate.
-
Step 3.
In a large skillet over medium heat, pour in the vegetable oil. Once the oil is hot (a breadcrumb sizzles when dropped in), add a few patties in a single layer without crowding the pan.
-
Step 4.
Fry the patties for about 5 minutes on each side, until they are golden brown and cooked through. Adjust heat if browning too quickly.
-
Step 5.
Transfer the cooked croquettes to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve warm with tartar sauce, as a burger on buns, or alongside grits and eggs.
