Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the remoulade sauce by combining mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and chopped capers or pickles in a bowl. Mix well and refrigerate.
  2. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the salmon fillet on a lined baking sheet, drizzle with neutral oil, and season with salt and pepper. Bake for 15-20 minutes until cooked.
  3. In a frying pan, melt butter over medium-low heat. Add shallot and cook until translucent, then add garlic and cook until fragrant.
  4. In a bowl, combine flaked salmon, mashed potatoes, breadcrumbs, cooked shallots, Old Bay seasoning, and Dijon mustard. Form into oval-shaped croquettes.
  5. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry croquettes for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.
  6. Transfer croquettes to a paper towel-lined plate. Sprinkle with salt and serve immediately with remoulade sauce and parsley garnish.
