For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a dash of smoked paprika or a pinch of dried dill to the salmon mixture. Ensure the skillet is hot before adding the patties to achieve a crispier crust. Serve with a side of mixed greens or a lemon wedge for added freshness. Leftover croquettes can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours, but they are best enjoyed fresh. Consider using panko breadcrumbs for extra crunch. For a healthier version, try baking the patties in the oven instead of pan-frying.
