PRESENTATION
Salmon and potato croquettes bring together the best of both worlds. Really good stuff. You get flaky tender fish and soft, moist potatoes all in one crunchy bite. This dish is all about what Northern and Eastern European kitchens do best—mixing fresh herbs like chives and dill with seafood for a light, fresh taste. And the flavor? Really shines. Salmon croquettes keep it simple; none of that heavy stuff from other cuisines. Plus, the chives and dill add a gentle kick, perfect for just about anyone. Kids love them, especially when you skip the pepper—the crispy coating is just golden and inviting.
Having a plate of potato croquettes with salmon at a get-together? For sure a great move. They’re bite-sized, easy to eat, and work really well at family dinners, too. The crispy shell hides that soft, sweet potato and mild salmon mix inside. It’s kind of a surprise when you take a bite. And you know what? Not much fuss, so you get that homemade comfort without spending ages in the kitchen. This is a top pick for anyone wanting to try something new with seafood, especially if you have leftover fish. Easy salmon croquettes, no question. Dill and chives—classic in this part of Europe—really bring out the best in the fish.
Plus, these little salmon and potato croquettes are super flexible—you can serve them hot or cold, with a side salad, or even in a sandwich. No matter how you eat them, the tangy herbs and creamy potatoes make every bite worth it. Seriously good. Simple, fresh and always a crowd-pleaser.

How to prepare Salmon and Potato Croquettes
To prepare the salmon and potato croquettes, start by cooking the potatoes 1 with their skin in a pressure cooker for about 15 minutes (or 30/40 minutes boiling them in a normal pot) until they are tender. Immerse the salmon fillets (with skin) in a pot of boiling water 2 and cook them for about 10 minutes until they are well cooked inside. Then peel the cooked salmon fillets 3 and remove any bones.
Chop the salmon with a knife once cleaned. Also chop the green onion that you have washed and trimmed, the dill, and the chives. In a bowl, put the chopped salmon, add the boiled potatoes passed through a potato ricer 4 (or mashed with a fork), the pepper 5, the salt, and the green onion 6.
Then add the chives and dill 7. Incorporate the egg 8 and a tablespoon of breadcrumbs 9, mix well to blend all the ingredients.
Form small patties of your preferred size with the mixture, make them regular, coat them in breadcrumbs 10, and fry them 11 in hot extra virgin olive oil. The salmon and potato croquettes should become golden 12 about 2/3 minutes per side. When they are golden on one side, turn them with a spatula to the other side. Serve the salmon and potato croquettes hot!
If you don't want to pan-fry the salmon and potato croquettes, you can also bake them in the oven, cooking them for 10 minutes per side at 350°F. Your salmon and potato croquettes will be excellent!
