Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by gathering and measuring all the ingredients for your Salmon Croquettes Recipe.
  2. If you're using fresh salmon, cook it until flaky and tender, about 15-20 minutes at 350°F (175°C), then gently flake it with a fork.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the Panko breadcrumbs and all-purpose flour.
  4. In another bowl, combine the flaked salmon, mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce, chopped bell peppers, cilantro, spices, and the egg.
  5. Gently fold the wet salmon mixture into the dry ingredients until just combined.
  6. If the mixture is too sticky, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate it for 15-20 minutes.
  7. Once chilled, dampen your hands and shape the mixture into uniform patties.
  8. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
  9. Carefully place the salmon croquettes in the hot oil, frying them for about 2-3 minutes on each side.
  10. Transfer the croquettes to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil and serve warm.
