Cooking Steps
  1. Gather Ingredients: Start by preparing your workspace; gather the cooked salmon, panko breadcrumbs, parsley, egg, green onions, lemon zest, salt, and pepper.
  2. Mix the Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the flaked salmon, panko breadcrumbs, chopped parsley, egg, finely chopped green onions, lemon zest, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined to keep the croquettes tender.
  3. Shape the Patties: With your hands, shape the mixture into small patties, about 2 inches wide. Place them on parchment paper, ensuring they are evenly spaced for easy frying.
  4. Heat the Oil: In a skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the patties and fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side.
  5. Drain and Serve: Once cooked, drain excess oil on paper towels. Serve these warm, paired with your favorite dipping sauce.
