This recipe came out of the need to use up some canned salmon that had the bones in it. I created it before I really liked canned salmon and knew the benefits of eating a diet with more fatty fish in it.

At first, I was completely disgusted with the fact that it had bones in it and I was worried I wouldn’t be able to eat it. But now, I am a huge fan of these and of canned salmon in general.

The bones in canned salmon (and other canned fish) are a great source of easily assimilated calcium, so there is a great reason to eat it! Plus, with the chopped onions and celery, you never even notice the bones. Even the pickiest eaters will probably like these!

Salmon Croquettes with Simple Tartar Sauce

As easy lunch or light dinner that you can easily whip together. Even the pickiest eaters will love these salmon croquettes.

Ingredients

Salmon Croquettes:
2 6-oz cans canned salmon
1 large egg, beaten
1/4 – 1/2 cup gluten-free cracker or bread crumbs for patty mixture
3 tbsp. finely diced red onion
3 tbsp. finely diced celery
2 tsp. Dijon mustard
1 tsp. dried dill
2 tsp. blackening “Cajun” seasoning
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 tsp. onion powder
Sea salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste
1 cup gluten-free bread crumbs for breading
Coconut oil or olive oil for frying
Simple Tartar Sauce:
1 cup homemade mayonnaise (or this is a clean brand)
1/4 cup pickle relish
1 teaspoon dried dill (or more, depending on how dilly you like it)
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Sea salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Stir all the ingredients for the salmon croquettes together in a large bowl.
Refrigerate the mixture for 1 hour before forming it into patties. This will help the crumbs absorb some of the moisture and help the patties stay together.
In a separate bowl, stir together the ingredients for the simple tarter sauce, cover, and chill until ready to serve.
Once the croquette mixture is chilled, start heating some coconut oil in a large pan over medium heat.
Form mixture into patties, about 1/4 cup per patty, and bread each with the bread or cracker crumbs.
Fry in coconut oil until golden brown on each side.
Transfer to a baking sheet and bake at 400 for 15 minutes, or until cooked through.
Serve with the simple tarter sauce and a squeeze of fresh lemon over the top.
