Baked Salmon and Cream Cheese Croquettes image

This recipe uses the ingredients that I like in a bagel and lox, except a potato takes the place of the bagel.

Time 45m

Yield 15 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 lbs russet potatoes
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
1 small onion, diced
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 ounces smoked salmon
2 ounces light cream cheese
1 1/2 ounces capers
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper, ground
1 large egg

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Peel potatoes, then cut the larger ones in half and boil for 20 minutes.
  • Combine breadcrumbs with salt and pepper and place on a baking sheet. Cook for no more than 2 minutes, or long enough to brown them.
  • While the potatoes are cooking, sautee the onion until it turns a golden brown.
  • Mash potatoes by hand or run through a ricer.
  • Chop salmon into small pieces (about 1/4 inch chunks). Dice the capers.
  • Blend the potatoes with the cream cheese while the potatoes are still warm, then blend in the remaining ingredients. Roll mixture into 15 equal-sized balls; an ice cream scoop is a good way to do this.
  • Place egg in a small container with a tablespoon of water and whisk. Place breadcrumbs in another small container. Roll each ball in the egg, then in the breadcrumbs, and place on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray.
  • Bake for 10 minutes, then turn over and bake for another 10 minutes.
