Step-by-Step Instructions for Crispy Southern Salmon Croquettes
  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour and yellow cornmeal until fully combined. Set aside.
  2. Add drained and flaked canned salmon, finely chopped red bell pepper, and diced sweet onion to the flour mixture. Incorporate beaten egg, Worcestershire sauce, seasoned salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and mayonnaise. Stir until well mixed.
  3. Allow the salmon croquette mixture to rest for about 10 minutes at room temperature.
  4. Shape the mixture into 6 to 8 equal-sized patties, each about 1-inch thick. Refrigerate for 10 to 20 minutes.
  5. Heat 1/4 inch of neutral oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  6. Carefully add the chilled patties to the skillet, cooking for 2 to 3 minutes per side until golden brown.
  7. Check that the internal temperature of the patties reaches 165°F and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
  8. Serve warm with dipping sauces.
