📝 Preparation Steps
1
Combine: Whisk the “COMBINE FIRST” ingredients in a large bowl. Fold in the salmon, taking care not to over-stir or break it too much (we want flakes, not tiny pieces).
2
Make patties: Divide the mixture into 10 even portions (about 1/4 cup each) and form into 2/3” thick patties, taking care not to pack them too tightly. Freeze for ⏱️ 60 minutes or refrigerate for at least ⏱️ 4 hours.
3
Dill Sauce: Meanwhile, whisk the ingredients together in a medium bowl. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Set out a wire rack and line it with paper towels.

4
Coat in panko: When ready to make, coat/dredge the patties in the remaining 1/2 cup panko, pressing it firmly into the patties so it sticks.

5
Cook: Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, add the croquettes to the hot skillet and cook for ⏱️ 2-3 minutes per side, until golden, crisp, and warmed through. Reduce the heat as needed if they are golden but not warmed through.
6
Don’t stack croquettes: Place them on a paper towel–lined wire rack after cooking to drain excess oil and keep them crisp.
7
Serve warm with freshly cracked salt and pepper if desired, with freshly squeezed lemon and Creamy Dill Sauce, Tartar Sauce, or Remoulade.
