Salmon croquettes

Salmon croquettes are a quick, easy, and, frankly, economical meal. They have a long tradition dating back to our grandparents' time, when fresh fish wasn't as easy to obtain or affordable, but canned salmon was easy to keep in the pantry for quick and healthy last-minute meals. Of course, you can make them more sophisticated with fresh salmon, but if you try this recipe, you might find it as enjoyable as our ancestors did.
