bread crumbs

🥗Healthier: oats

💰Cheaper: crushed crackers

Oats provide a gluten-free option while crushed crackers can be more economical.

mayonnaise

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: sour cream

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess.

Dijon mustard

🥗Healthier: yellow mustard

💰Cheaper: vinegar

Yellow mustard is milder and often less expensive.

canned salmon

🥗Healthier: fresh salmon

💰Cheaper: canned tuna

Canned tuna is usually less expensive and still provides a similar texture.

Start by mixing together chopped red peppers, onions, cornmeal, and eggs in a bowl.

Add pink salmon to the mixture.

Mix everything thoroughly with your hands until well combined.

Heat oil in a skillet to 350°F.

Form the mixture into four patties, ensuring they are not too thick or too flat.

Fry the patties in the heated oil for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.

While the patties are cooking, prepare the lemon dill sauce by mixing mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, fresh dill, and fresh lemon juice in a bowl.

Once the sauce is mixed, refrigerate it briefly while the patties finish cooking.

Check the patties to ensure they are crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside before removing them from the skillet.

Plate the salmon croquettes and serve with the lemon dill sauce.
