Leftover Salmon?

So first I am not very good at this blogging thing yet...is it like that for everyone? I just forget :) But I have cooked this week and had some delicious meals I must say. Since I am leaving for Spain in 4 days I have been trying to lose a few pounds and decided to cut out breads, etc and stick with the salads, meats, fruits. I has actually been quite easy! Last Monday night I broiled a salmon fillet (broiling is my new fav way of cooking!) but the fillet was HUGE and I am just a single gal so there was quite a bit leftover. But seriously who likes fish the next day?!?! So I decided to do what my parents always do and make Salmon Croquettes. So good and so easy! Sad I did not have a pictured. Here is my simple recipe...let me know if you have tried it and what you liked or might have added in.


Salmon Croquettes

- 1/2 Pound of Salmon (one large fillet) cooked....I broil mine for ten minutes with salt and pepper
- 2 large handfuls of breadcrumbs (you can use cornmeal or a potato)
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup of diced sauteed celery and onions
- 1 tsp Old Bay Seasoning or any type of seasoning you like

Not sure the technical term but "flake" or break up the salmon into little pieces. Combine salmon with breadcrumbs, egg, seasoning, and onion/celery mixture and mix together well. Form patties about 3 inches across and 1/2 inch high. Place on baking sheet with parchment paper. Set broil to high and place baking sheet on a middle rack. Watch carefully! I leave mine for about 5 minutes on one side and then flip or until a nice crust has formed on both sides. Enjoy!
