Even though fresh salmon is used to make these croquettes, they nevertheless cook very quickly. With some tartar or remoulade sauce, over a green salad, or with some wild rice and vegetables on the side, they make a tasty appetizer snack.

- 1 pound boneless, skinless salmon fillets
- ½ cup baking mix (such as Bisquick®)
- ½ cup diced onion
- ¼ cup diced red bell pepper
- ¼ cup freshly chopped parsley

- ⅓ cup cornmeal
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

If you are struggling to form the patties due to the mixture being sticky, rinse your hands after forming every few patties, as the mixture is easier to work with while your hands are clean. Refrigerate the patties for 30 minutes.

Reviews
These turned out really good with a few changes. I added parmesan cheese to the mix before making the patties. I also doubled the amount of Old Bay. For the breading I did a mix of cornmeal, parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. I then served them with a roasted red pepper sauce…everyone loved them!
