Salmon Croquettes With Yogurt Horseradish Sauce Recipe

These salmon croquettes are fabulous alone, but also make for a terrific sandwich when placed on soft rolls or in pita bread. Whichever way you serve them, include the cucumber-watercress salad—it’s a creamy and verdant blend that tastes great.

This horseradish-infused yogurt sauce enlivens the down-home flavor of crisp croquettes. They’re great hot, at room temperature, or chilled. Serve with Tarragon Tomatoes and a salad of dark, leafy greens to turn these into a satisfying meal.

In a small bowl, stir together the sauce ingredients. Cover and refrigerate.

In a medium bowl, stir together the croquette ingredients except the oil. Shape the mixture into 6 patties, each about 3 inches in diameter.

In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat, swirling to coat the bottom. Cook the croquettes for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.

Transfer the croquettes to plates. Spoon the sauce alongside or on top of the croquettes.
