Salmon croquettes

Makes 4 servings

These croquettes are about the same size as chicken nuggets and kids will love to dip them in some low-fat ranch dressing.

Ingredients

• 1 can (213 g / 7.5 oz) pink or sockeye salmon, no salt added, well drained
• 2 tbsp (25 mL) green onion, finely chopped (about 2 green onions)
• 1 egg
• 1 cup (250 mL) mashed potato (leftovers work well)
• 1 tbsp (15 mL) no-fat mayonnaise
• 1 tbsp (15 mL) ground flax seed

Directions

1. In a large bowl, mix together all the ingredients. Form into 12 equal sized balls.
2. Heat a non-stick frying pan to medium-high heat. Spray with cooking spray. Add croquettes and press down with a fork to flatten slightly. Cook for 3 minutes.
3. Turn heat down to medium-low. Flip the croquettes and cook for 5 minutes or until done. Serve immediately.
