Croquettes are small, crispy ovals or cylinders made of vegetables, fish, or meat that are minced and mixed with a thick white sauce. Normally, they are coated in egg and breadcrumbs and deep fried. This recipe, however, calls for baking the salmon croquettes, making them a bit healthier than the traditional version. This recipe is also made easy by using canned salmon and works beautifully to make mini-croquettes, the perfect appetizer for parties. They are so delicious on their own, you may not even want any tartar sauce. Plan ahead to refrigerate the mixture before forming into patties and baking, or prepare the mixture a day in advance.
