Notes
- Using canned salmon makes this recipe quick and affordable, but fresh salmon can also be used if preferred.
- Make sure the skillet is sufficiently hot before frying to avoid sticking and to get a crispy crust.
- Leftover croquettes can be refrigerated and reheated in a skillet or oven to retain crispiness.
- Feel free to customize seasonings to your taste, adding a touch of cayenne or lemon zest for extra flavor.
- Serve with tartar sauce, aioli, or a fresh herb yogurt dip for complementary flavors.
