I used the recipe to make salmon croquettes in a baked fashion. They were EXCELLENT. I'd never made any before and had planned to bake salmon for dinner, but the store I was in was out of the salmon fillets that I like so I thought: how about some salmon croquettes! So I bought the ingredients I thought would need to go in them, then came home and searched for recipes. I chose this one because of the quick cook time and because it was a "baking" recipe. I doubled this recipe (because my husband eats a lot when he likes something). I didn't remove all of the skin or all of the bones from the canned salmon, just the large pieces of skin and large bones (they were breaking as soon as I mixed them with my hands so it was impossible to remove them all. I actually think the really small bones that remained helped give the croquettes some character because they added a very mild crunch) I used Stove Top stuffing mix (low sodium) i/o bread crumbs, I used 2 eggs and 1/4 cup egg substitute (=1 egg), I left out the celery and the hot pepper sauce, and added sweet vidalia onions (lots of them) and a lot more garlic because we LOVE seasonings! I also added some garlic salt, granulated garlic, paprika, and black pepper. I rolled golf sized balls and patted them flat instead of the muffin pan. I cooked them about 20 minutes which was perfect, because they were definitely still mushy after 15 minutes, and they weren't nearly overcooked when I removed them. Great recipe!

My husband I loved these. He told me it's a keeper for the recipe box!

These were easy to make. The one thing I did different was to pan fry them in Pam versus baking them and they turned out delicous. I also served them with the sauce which I liked.

Absolutely! I made it at the last minute and had to make a few substitutions and omissions. I thought for sure it was going to turn out poorly, but it was great!

I/O the can of salmon, I shredded a talapia filet.

I/O green onions, I used 1/4 cup of finely chopped red onions.

Left out the celery.

I/O minced freshed cilantro, I used a tablespoon of dried cilantro.

I made these for lunch today and they were very good. I did cook them a little too long and they were dry. I also was making Low Fat Fetticcuni and I had too many timers on and I didn't catch it. I will make again. I didn't make the sauce because I didn't have time by the time everything else was done.

They were delicious, easy to make and the texture was not mush like the one reviewer said. I baked for 15 minutes. I did not make the sauce, they stand up on their own. I got rave reviews and so convenient baking in muffin tins.

They turned out perfectly. Yum!

I think the first person to rate this might be on target and there is a need to cook longer. I followed the recipe to the letter, and it had the texture of mush. The sauce was good, but this is a first time I've actually tossed anything. The recipe sounded so good, that the end result was a disappointment.

They were very tasty and I will fix again. However I would cook them a little longer next time.
