- 2 large Eggs Beaten.
- 2 tablespoons Green Onions Chopped; substitute with chives if preferred.

- 2 tablespoons Oil For frying; canola or olive oil recommended.
Instructions
Preparation
- In a mixing bowl, combine the canned salmon (drained and flaked), breadcrumbs, beaten eggs, chopped green onions, sriracha, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper.
- Mix until thoroughly combined.
Cooking
- Form the mixture into small patties, about 2 inches wide.
- Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add croquettes in batches, avoiding overcrowding the pan.
- Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.

Notes
For a pop of freshness, add fresh herbs like dill or parsley, or diced bell peppers for crunch. For a festive twist, mix in shredded cheese. Bake for a healthier option, brushing patties with oil and baking at 375°F (190°C) for 20 minutes, flipping halfway.
