salmon crab croquettes – Dr. Danenberg

I combined two of my favorite seafood (salmon and crab) into one dish. The seasonings and textures join to provide a tasty meal. Lots of nutrients and trace minerals make this a nutrient-dense main course. I place the croquettes on a bed of greens and avocados and top off with my spicy sauce for a satisfying and Paleo healthy dinner.

Ingredients:

Croquettes

1 can (7.5 oz) wild caught sockeye salmon with skin and bones, drained
1/2 can (8 oz) lump crabmeat, drained
1 shallot, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 Tbs dried chopped basil
1 Tbs dried chopped parsley
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 Tsp Kelp Granules (I use Sea Seasonings brand)
1 Tsp sea salt
1/2 Tsp red pepper flakes
1/2 Tsp ground pepper
1 Tbs lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
Ghee or Coconut Oil for pan
Bed of salad greens and chopped avocado on which to place croquettes

Spicy Honey Mustard Sauce

2 Tsp wasabi powder (I use Sushi Sonic Real Wasabi)
2 Tsp local raw honey
1/3 C healthy mayo
3 Tbs Dijon mustard

Preparation:

Croquettes

In a large bowl, fold-in all ingredients (except ghee or coconut oil)

Shape into 6 patties

Place patties on a plate covered with paper towels (this absorbs excess moisture) and place in the refrigerator to chill for about an hour

Heat a large pan over medium heat, and add ghee or coconut oil.

Add the patties to pan, turn down heat to low, and cook covered until bottoms are browned (about 5 minutes). Turn and cook covered until the other side is brown (about another 5 minutes).
