Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Make Remoulade Sauce by mixing your favorite ingredients in a bowl and chill in the refrigerator.
  2. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place salmon on a lined baking sheet, drizzle with oil, and season. Bake for 15-20 minutes until cooked through.
  3. Melt butter in a skillet over medium-low heat. Add shallots and sauté until translucent, then stir in garlic and cook for an additional minute.
  4. In a mixing bowl, add flaked salmon, mashed potatoes, breadcrumbs, and the sautéed shallots and garlic. Add Old Bay and Dijon mustard, mix well and shape into croquettes.
  5. Heat oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat until it reaches 375°F. Fry croquettes for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.
  6. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot alongside the remoulade sauce for dipping.
