Salmon Croquettes
This makes a great entree or finger-food. It can also be frozen after you have cooked it so you can either prepare it before you need it or just to have on hand for when you want a quick snack. This can be prepared in around 45 minutes depending on the number of croquettes you are making.
Salmon Croquettes
Ingredients:
2 cups rice
1 large tin salmon, drained and flaked
1 egg
1/2 cup chopped parsley
juice of 1 lemon
1 tsp anchovy sauce
salt and peppre to taste
flour
beaten egg
breadcrumbs
oil for frying
Method:
- Cook rice in boiling salted water (slightly overcook).
- Drain thoroughly
- Mix in salmon, egg, parsley, lemon juice, anchovy sauce, salt and pepper.
- Shape into small balls or croquettes
- Dip in flour, beaten egg and breadcrumbs
- Deep fry until golden brown.
- Drain well and serve as an entree or with pre-dinner drinks.
Serves: 6-8
Variations
If you wish, you can make the croquettes into flat “fish cakes” and then crumb them. That way when you cook them you can do it in much less oil in a frying pan.
Tips
Try and eliminate as much water as possible from the rice once it has been cooked. Be careful when adding the croquettes to the hot oil as it can bubble up if you add too many too quickly and can overflow and catch fire, or splash and burn you.
