Salmon is one of my favorite fish, and then beyond that it’s really one of my favorite foods, period. I love that most of my kids will eat Salmon in any form. They really enjoy it too, and it’s so healthy. This recipe is probably the least healthy recipe I make when it comes to Salmon, but Salmon patties aka. Salmon Croquettes are delicious. We usually serve them over a bed of rice with different sauces for dipping. One of my kids loves smearing mayo all over a hamburger bun and eating it like a “Salmon Burger” as she refers to it. So delish!
Salmon Croquettes Recipe
- 1 1/2 c. fresh salmon or 1 (14.75) can salmon in water
- 1 heaping Tbs. onion, finely chopped
- 1/2 stalk celery, finely diced
- 1 1/2 tsp. Dijon mustard
- 1/2 tsp. black pepper
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 1/4 c. all purpose flour
- Olive Oil for cooking
In a heavy skillet, pour olive oil – enough to cover the bottom of the pan. Heat over medium.
Flake the Salmon, removing any bones or skin.
In a medium sized mixing bowl combine the salmon, onion, celery, dijon mustard, pepper and eggs.
Add the flour and mix well. If the mixture is a little loose, add a bit more flour.
Now it get’s messy.
With your hands, pat into about 8 patties (depending on size).
Place the patties into the heated skillet. Cook until Golden Brown – about 2-3 minutes per side.
While they can be eaten as is, they taste so much better if served over a bed of rice, and with dipping sauces. A Lemon Dill is amazing!
Enjoy!!

Hi Nicole,
I came right over when I saw your salmon croquettes recipe. Like your family, my husband and son love salmon and it doesn’t matter if it’s fresh or canned–they will eat it (we had it for dinner today, in fact). I appreciate the simplicity of your recipe and addition of Dijon mustard. This recipe will go in my recipe notebook!
Cheers,
