Adaline Hanover'S Salmon Cutlets
Salmon cutlets with a crispy cracker coating, savory green onions, and rich eggs, perfect for a hearty family meal or casual dinner with a flavorful seafood twist.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Saute the chopped green onions in butter until fragrant.
- Add the flour; cook and stir, but don't let it brown.
- Add the milk; stir until thick. Let cool.
- Add the cooked, drained salmon, crushed saltine crackers, and beaten eggs. Taste and adjust salt as needed.
- Form the mixture into patties and fry until golden brown on both sides.
Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter version, substitute half of the butter with olive oil. You can also replace saltine crackers with breadcrumbs or crushed panko for a crunchier texture. If you prefer, try adding fresh herbs like dill or parsley to enhance the flavor. Make sure to drain the salmon well to avoid a soggy mixture.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the salmon cutlets with a side of green salad for a refreshing contrast, or pair them with Potatoes Au Gratin With Shrimp for a hearty meal. They also go well with a squeeze of lemon juice and a dollop of tartar sauce for added flavor. Consider serving them as part of a seafood recipes spread.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the salmon cutlets in a skillet over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until heated through. This will help retain their crispiness.
