This is what I do with my leftover salmon…

I was today years old when I found out what Ive been eating my whole life is called salmon croquettes. Filipinos have a dish that is essentially the same but it’s called “Tortang Salmon” it translates to salmon omelet.

Ingredients:

2 Salmon Filets PRO TIP USE SOCKEYE SALMON FOR RICHER FLAVOR

¼ Green Bell Pepper

¼ Red Bell Pepper

½ White onion

3 Eggs

About 100g of egg whites PRO TIP ADD EGG WHITES TO INCREASE PROTEIN

1 Packet of Crackers (Helps with keeping them together

1 TBS GARLIC POWDER

Directions:

Step 1: Chop up your veggies

Step 2: Smash down Salmon and add all your veggies, eggs, egg whites, crackers, and garlic powder

Step 3: Mix and Fry on Pan with a Tbs of olive oil on low med. Shape them into circles

Step 4: Once corners cook flip over and cook until golden brown.

Enjoy with some rice and sauce of choice. I personally eat mine with ketchup.

Using leftover salmon to create salmon croquettes is not only a smart way to reduce food waste but also a delicious way to enjoy a high-protein meal. I personally love using sockeye salmon for this recipe because its rich flavor enhances the taste even more. One tip is to finely chop the bell peppers and onions to ensure the croquettes hold together well and have a nice texture. Adding egg whites boosts the protein content without adding extra fat, which is great if you’re looking for a healthy boost. The crackers act as a binder, so pick ones you like, such as saltines or Ritz, because they influence the flavor and crispiness too. When frying, using a bit of olive oil on low to medium heat helps cook the croquettes evenly and prevents burning. Shaping them into flat circles helps them cook through more evenly as well. This dish pairs wonderfully with steamed rice and a simple dipping sauce like ketchup or a spicy mayo. It also works great as a filling for sandwiches or wraps if you want a quick lunch option. What’s fun is how similar this recipe is to the Filipino Tortang Salmon, showing how different cultures find creative ways to enjoy the same ingredients. Overall, this recipe transforms leftover salmon into a versatile and tasty dish that anyone can whip up at home with basic ingredients.
