In a large pot, add water, olive oil, and sea salt, then add 6 large green bananas prepared with cuts on the skin.

Boil the bananas for 15-20 minutes, then drain and peel them while hot.

Pulse the peeled bananas in a food processor with butter until smooth.

In a bowl, mix salt, pepper, garlic powder, 1 egg, and half of the bread crumbs, then add the pulsed bananas and the sautéed saltfish mixture.

Cover the mixture with plastic wrap and refrigerate to firm up.

Scoop out portions of the mixture, shape into croquettes, and dredge in flour, then dip in egg and coat with breadcrumbs.

Fry the croquettes in hot oil until golden brown on each side.
