Ingredients

For the dill sauce

Stonyfield Plain Greek Yogurt or Daisy Light Sour Cream

Grey Poupon Dijon Mustard or Maille Dijon Original

Fresh dill sprigs, finely chopped

For the salmon croquettes

Canned unsalted salmon packed in water, drained well

Celery stalks, finely chopped

Large white onion, finely chopped

Large eggs, beaten

Salt

Black pepper

Olive oil

Instructions

1. Combine the yogurt or sour cream with Dijon mustard in a small bowl and stir until smooth, then mix in the chopped dill and refrigerate

2. Drain the salmon thoroughly, remove any skin or bones, and gently flake it into a medium bowl

3. Add the chopped celery and onion to the salmon and mix lightly

4. Pour in the beaten eggs and season with salt and black pepper, then gently combine without overmixing

5. Shape the mixture into evenly sized patties and let them rest briefly so they hold together

6. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering

7. Place the patties into the skillet with space between them and cook until a golden crust forms

8. Flip carefully and cook the other side until browned and heated through

9. Transfer the croquettes to a plate briefly, then serve warm with a generous spoon of dill sauce

Notes

Drain the salmon very well to prevent the mixture from becoming too soft

Handle the patties gently since they are delicate by design

Cooking over medium heat helps achieve a golden crust without burning

The dill sauce can be made ahead and kept chilled for better flavor

Fresh dill provides the best aroma and taste compared to dried dill
