Flake salmon with a fork and mix all ingredients together.
Form into 8 patties and saute in a hot, oiled skillet over medium heat for 6-8 minutes, a lid on the pan.
Remove lid and turn croquettes.
Saute for 6-8 minutes more, uncovered.
The croquettes should be browned on both sides.
Serve with home-made mayonnaise.
Notes:
If the croquettes start to break apart when turned, they need to cook longer before turning.
The amounts of celery and onion are not critical. Adjust according to your taste.
You may also season with garlic, minced fresh chile, or any fresh herbs.
Leftovers freeze very well.
A re-warmed croquette is great for breakfast with eggs over-easy, on a bed of mixed salad greens and arugula, topped with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and a sprinkle of sea salt. I stir it all together, and the runny egg yolks and olive oil make a "dressing" for the greens. This may sound strange, but it is great!
