Salmon and Pea Croquettes 🐠🐟

Sometimes it’s nice to make a quick, healthy meal without having to buy loads of fresh ingredients. I had a tin of salmon in the cupboard and some peas in the freezer, so I thought… why not make some croquettes? 😍

The NHS recommends eating at least one portion of oily fish per week. Salmon is an excellent source of protein and omega-3 fats. Protein is essential for growth, while omega-3 fats support brain and eye development.

Mashing the soft bones into the fish also increases the calcium content.

Ingredients:

• 100g mashed tinned salmon (with bones)

• 100g buttery mashed potato (cooked)

• 60g peas (defrosted)

• 1 tbsp full fat cream cheese

• 1 egg whisked

• 60g crispy breadcrumbs

Method

• Mix the salmon, potato, peas and cream cheese together.

• Make croquettes (I made 8).

• Dip each one into egg, followed by the breadcrumbs.

• Cook in airfryer (190c) for 10 mins. Flip over halfway.

• Delicious hot or cold and they can be frozen once cooked.

Very cost effective, as 8 Croquettes did us 4 meals!
