Ingredients
1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 green bell pepper, chopped
1/2 red bell pepper, chopped
Three 5-ounce cans of salmon
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
1-2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Instructions
Gather Ingredients: Assemble canned salmon, breadcrumbs, eggs, onions, herbs, and spices for quick access.
Prepare the Mixture: Flake the salmon in a bowl with a fork until evenly shredded. Add finely chopped onions, beaten eggs, breadcrumbs, and preferred herbs and spices for added aroma.
Form the Patties: Shape the salmon mixture into equally-sized balls and flatten them into patties for uniform thickness.
Preheat the Pan: Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Ensure a proper sizzle for a crispy golden-brown crust.
Cook the Croquettes: Place the croquettes in hot oil and fry for 3-4 minutes on each side until crispy and golden.
Drain & Serve: Transfer the cooked croquettes onto a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil. Serve warm and enjoy.
