Salmon Croquettes
"This is my mother-in-law's recipe for croquettes. Whenever I make these, my husband can't get enough of them! They can be made with whatever you have on hand, tuna, ham, fish, chicken, or vegetables, spinach, carrots, zucchini--anything you can find in the pantry basically!"

These croquettes were just delicious. Your directions were clear and easy to follow. They fried to a delicate crispness. We dipped them in seafood sauce and had a wonderful meal. Thanks canarygirl. -
These are absolutely delicious. I was skeptical that they would hold together after adding that much milk, but they did. Thanks for the recipe - this is one I will add to my repertoire. -
I do use about 1 cup of salmon...or 2 cans of tuna when I use tuna. I wonder why they didn't hold together? If ever that happens again, you could add extra flour to try to thicken it up a bit. -
Thanks for this one, CG. We agree with your DH, they're great, also easy and fast. I love your MIL's recipes. -
This is a question. Are you supposed to use a LARGE can of salmon? I used a small (9 oz) can & followed the recipe exactly. I stirred the salmon-onion-flour-milk mixture for almost 25 minutes & finally gave up in frustration. It's "sort of" thick but mostly this ucky glutinous stuff, and it never formed a ball. We were really looking forward to trying this so it was a very disappointing Sunday evening here. Sure would appreciate your advice!

Instead of milk I added a couple tablespoons of sour cream. -
For some reason, I had no problem at all with this recipe. Maybe it's because I used chicken instead of salmon, but as usual, your recipes are fantastico, Canarygirl. These are such comfort food...
