This Salmon croquettes recipe is made of fresh chopped salmon, mashed black beans, bread crumbs, eggs, and spices.

What is the difference between a patty and a croquette?

The only main difference between a patty and a croquette is that a croquette is covered in bread crumbs where a patty is not.

How do you keep salmon croquettes from falling apart?

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.
