FAQs
Here are a few of the frequently asked questions when making Black Bean Salmon Croquettes.
This Salmon croquettes recipe is made of fresh chopped salmon, mashed black beans, bread crumbs, eggs, and spices.
The only main difference between a patty and a croquette is that a croquette is covered in bread crumbs where a patty is not.
The salmon croquettes will fall apart if they are too wet. So if you find that they are not binding well together you can add additional breadcrumbs. The eggs and mashed black beans will also help the patties stay together.
