SALMON CROQUETTES

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until sizzling hot (see Know-how, page 100). Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 to 4 minutes, until soft and translucent.
• Transfer the onion to a mixing bowl and add the salmon, 1/2 cup of the bread crumbs, the egg, lemon zest and juice, parsley, and salt and pepper to taste; stir gently to mix. Take care not to break the chunks of fish up too small; do not overmix.
• Form the salmon mixture into 8 patties, about 1/2 inch thick. Place the remaining 1 cup bread crumbs in a shallow bowl, season with salt and pepper to taste, and stir to mix. Dredge the croquettes with the bread crumb mixture, coating both sides and pressing gently to adhere. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, until firm.
• In the same skillet used to cook the onions, pour enough canola oil to just cover the bottom and place over medium-high heat until sizzling hot. Place the croquettes in the hot oil, cooking in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding, and cook until golden brown, about 4 minutes per side. Flip the croquettes only once; reduce the heat to medium if they start browning too quickly. Remove from the skillet, drain on a brown paper bag, and serve warm.
