Method
 

Prepare the Mixture
  1. In a large bowl, combine the flaked salmon, mashed potatoes, beaten egg, dijon mustard, lemon juice, dill, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
  2. Form the mixture into small patties, about 2 inches in diameter. Place them on a plate.
Coat the Patties
  1. Spread the bread crumbs on a flat plate.
  2. Gently coat each salmon patty in the bread crumbs, pressing lightly to ensure they adhere.
Fry the Croquettes
  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Once the oil is hot, add the croquettes in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.
  3. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.
Drain and Serve
  1. Remove the croquettes from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
  2. Serve warm with tartar sauce and lemon wedges on the side.
