Pink Salmon Croquettes


Ingredients
1 (2.6-ounce) pouch Pink Salmon
1 tablespoon  finely chopped chives
2 teaspoons spicy brown mustard
2 large eggs, beaten
1 teaspoon  lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon  ground black pepper
3/4 cup Panko bread crumbs, divided
Coconut oil, for sauteing
Directions
Place the salmon, chives, mustard, eggs, lemon juice, salt, pepper and 1/4 cup of the bread crumbs into a medium mixing bowl and stir to combine. Divide the mixture into 8 rounds packed firmly and set aside on a parchment lined half baking sheet. Allow to rest for 15 minutes. Place the remaining bread crumbs into a small bowl. One at a time, coat each round in the Panko on all sides.
Heat enough Coconut  oil to cover the bottom of a 12-inch saute pan over medium heat until simmering. Add the croquettes and cook 2 to 3 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Remove to cool.  Allow to cool for 2 to 3 minutes before serving.

*  I used  a half a cup of plain greek yogurt and stirred in 1 tsp. of dill for a dipping sauce.

  4. Just found you at the Ultimate Blog party and now following you . . . your blog is the first I've ever seen with a Mediterranean focus! I've been scouring my Medit. themed cookbooks to get back into this type of healthy foods, cooking, and lifestyle, so I'm really excited about finding your blog. Hope you can stop by my food and garden blog too and hopefully follow back. Roz
