These are so delicious, I made pretty much as stated with only a few amount adjustments, I subbed green onions for the yellow, and omitted the dried cilantro, I mixed up the ingredients and chilled for 6 hours which made handling easier, we loved this recipe Fluffster thank you for sharing hon, next time I am going to double the recipe!...Kitten

As much as I LOVE salmon croquettes, I have to stay away from fried foods as much as possible! Knowing my dear friend Fluff wouldn't mind if I varied a little, I chose to make this as a loaf so I could bake it! It was absolutely the best I've ever had! The added veggies allow for the needed moisture and the flavor is just wonderful! Thank you Luvie! I'll use this recipe often! Made for KK Chef's Pick Tag

My husband and I both really enjoyed these croquettes! I served with a rqnch type dressing and my husband had a mustard mayo sauce. Both great! Thanks! Made for KK's chef's pick game.
