Salmon Shrimp Confetti Croquettes Recipes

SALMON AND SHRIMP CAKES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven broiler. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Heat 1 teaspoon vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in red onion and green bell pepper. Cook and stir until tender, 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a bowl, and mix with mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and seafood seasoning.
• Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium heat. Place salmon and shrimp in the skillet, and cook until slightly opaque and coated with butter, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl.
• Place panko bread crumbs and 3 tablespoons butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Cook on High until butter is melted, about 20 seconds. Mix crumbs and butter, and season with garlic salt.
• Add the mayonnaise mixture 1 tablespoon at a time to moisten the salmon and shrimp mixture. Mix breadcrumb mixture, 1 tablespoon at a time, into the bowl with the salmon and shrimp mixture, just until the ingredients are easily formed into cakes. Form 6 4-inch cakes, and place on the prepared baking sheet.
• Broil salmon and shrimp cakes in the preheated oven until golden brown, 7 to 10 minutes, turning once.

SALMON CROQUETTES

Steps:

• Drain the salmon well and place in a large mixing bowl.
• Lightly beat the eggs in a separate bowl.
• To the bowl with the salmon, add the bell pepper, onion, Greek yogurt Worcestershire, kosher salt, pepper, celery salt, hot sauce, parsley, and beaten eggs.
• With a fork, mix until evenly combined.
• Place the cornmeal in a shallow dish (a pie plate works well). Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and place it near the cornmeal.
• Shape the salmon mixture into 8 patties, then lightly coat both sides of each in the cornmeal. To shape the patties, squeeze lightly with your hands discarding a little bit of liquid that may come out of the patties. Press them together gently but with enough force so that they hold together. The patties will feel loose, wet, and delicate; be patient and do your best, they'll cook up fine! Place the patties on the baking sheet as you go.
• Cover the pan with plastic and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes or up to 1 day.
• While the patties chill, prepare the dipping sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, Dijon, salt, hot sauce, and herbs. Refrigerate if you won't be serving within 30 minutes.
• To cook the patties, heat 1/2 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot and shimmering, swirl the pan, then gently place the first batch of patties in the skillet so that they are not touching (I can fit 4 at a time in my skillet, but you may need to cook additional batches if your skillet isn't large enough). Cook 3 to 4 minutes on each side, until the outsides are crisp and golden and the interiors are cooked through. Add the remaining 1/2 tablespoon olive oil, swirl, then repeat with remaining patties. If at any point the croquettes begin to stick, add more oil as needed. If desired, keep the croquettes warm in a 250 degree F oven between batches. Enjoy hot with dipping sauce.

SALMON & SHRIMP CONFETTI CROQUETTES

Steps:

• Steam salmon filet. Chill and flake apart.
• Peel, devein shrimp. Slice them in half length wise, the cut into third to make nice little chunks.
• Finely chop bell pepper and scallion.
• Mix these and remaining ingredients together (use only 1/2 cup cracker crumbs. Setting aside the remaining crumbs to roll croquettes in).
• Form into desired sized croquettes.
• Roll and cover with cracker crumbs (I used crushed club crackers).
• Place on a lightly greased baking sheet and bake at 400°F for approx 45 min, depending on how big they are.
• Note: This being the first time I ever made Salmon Croquettes and although this turned really good, I think using corn flakes for the coating would be good too. I served Papergoddess's Cilantro Mayonnaise with.
• Also. The prep time is an estimate. It includes the cooking time for the salmon fillets and shrimp along with putting it all together. You can save time by using canned salmon and pre-cooked shrimp. Fresh is always best though.
