I got this recipe from a former coworker who happened to be the best cook on this planet. Hope you enjoy the recipe as much as I do. Those croquettes taste wonderful on a mixed salad.

I didn't have the bell pepper and used real butter and extra Virginia olive oil but it was amazing all the same. This is the closest I have gotten to my mom's recipe and she would have been proud.

I love salmon patties and thought I would give these a try. We were not a big fan of the green pepper in the salmon patties and thought they were a little dry. I also prefer a light coating of Panko or regular bread crumbs on the outside of the patties before frying.
