Recipe Introduction


This recipe is old as the hills, but still very timely and well-loved by old and young alike. Served up with a bowl of fluffy mashed potatoes and a big bottle of catsup, salmon croquettes are a favorite Texas supper.


List of Ingredients




15-ounce can red salmon, drained
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
18 to 20 saltine crackers, crushed (or about 2/3 cup cracker meal)
1/2 cup canola oil

Mash the drained salmon in a bowl. Add the chopped onion, egg and black pepper. Mix gently. Shape into six croquettes (patties).
Crush the saltines between two sheets of waxed paper with a rolling pin. Set each croquette into the crumbs, pressing gently to make sure crumbs adhere, turning to coat both sides.

Heat oil in skillet over medium heat. Fry croquettes on one side until golden brown, then gently turn and fry other side. Serves 4 to 6, depending upon appetites.
