Thai Salmon Croquettes
- 2 cups canned salmon, drained
- 2 cups instant mashed potatoes
- 2 egg whites
- 6 scallions, finely chopped
- 1-2 tablespoons red curry paste
- 1 tablespoon Thai fish sauce
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- Peanut or canola oil
- 2 cups bread crumbs
- 1 cup flour
Mix all ingredients (minus oil, bread crumbs, and flour) and chill for one hour. Roll 1/3 cup of mixture in bread crumbs and flour. Fry patties in oil at 375 degrees for 3 minutes. Flip and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Recipe yields approximately 12 croquettes. Alternate: For Granny’s original recipe, leave off the scallions, curry, and fish sauce.
