Right now my pantry is overrunning with canned salmon. I think they are mating. Well, maybe not, but due to a recently discovered food allergy Mr. Penguin's sister gifted us with a sackful. I was more than happy to take the little fishies. I love canned salmon!
I love canned more than I like fresh salmon. Well, okay, I've never had fresh salmon. I've had the canned stuff or the stuff in the freezer section of the grocery store. Given the choice between the two I'll always choose the canned, especially if I'm craving these salmon coquettes. The freezer stuff taste too fishy to me. I would like to try fresh one day but until that day...
Mmmmm, salmon croquettes! I believe my step-mommy taught me how to make these. I even learned to like peas because of this recipe. It just taste so darn good with boiled buttered potatoes sprinkled with parsley and sweet peas. Sometimes she'll make a mustard sauce to go with it that she learned from my Grandma. The sauce usually goes with her fishball recipe but I don't have either recipe so I can't share them with you.
I can, however, share with you my recipe for salmon croquettes. Its a little different from my step-mom's because it has no fresh onion in it. If I add the onion my croquettes kinda burn and my Mr. Penguin kinds goes "eww!" I swear you'd think he was two years old sometimes.
