Method

  • Combine the dipping sauce ingredients together in a small bowl (the last four ingredients on the list); refrigerate.
  • Begin by opening the can of salmon and drain it I like to de-bone (or fillet?)
  • the salmon before using it, but you dont have to.
  • Its those tiny little round bone thingys that gross me out so I have to get rid of them.
  • Next, mix the salmon and egg until combined.
  • Then throw in the rest of the croquette ingredients.
  • Mix together (my mother used her hands, and so do I).
  • Then form into burger-sized patties.
  • Heat a grill or saute pan over medium-high heat and add the canola and chili oil.
  • If you dont have chili pepper oil, thats ok theres enough heat in the croquettes themselves if youre a heat-a-holic.
  • When the oil is hot, add the salmon croquettes to the pan.
  • Cook them for about 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown on the bottom, then flip.
  • Cook about another 5-7 minutes until browned on the bottom.
  • Remove from heat.
  • Immediately grab a fork, cut into one and dunk it into the dipping sauce.
  • Then get a plate and have one.
  • Or three.
