Notes

Serve with mashed potatoes, cabbage salad, or polenta fries
We don’t recommend baking these salmon croquettes, but if you need to here’s how we recommend baking them: place on a parchment lined baking sheet and bake at 400ºF for about 10 minutes. Flip and continue to cook until golden brown, about 10 more minutes.
