February 17, 20252 min read

Salmon croquettes are a beloved comfort food, known for their crispy golden crust and rich, flavorful interior. At Southern Twist, we take pride in putting our own unique spin on this classic dish. Whether you love the traditional Southern-style croquettes or want to explore exciting new flavors, here are seven variations to try!

1. Classic Southern-Style Salmon Croquettes

The foundation of all great salmon croquettes! Made with flaked salmon, breadcrumbs, onions, and a touch of seasoning, these croquettes are pan-fried to perfection. Served with a side of remoulade or hot sauce, this is a true taste of the South.

2. Cheesy Jalapeño Salmon Croquettes

Spice things up with diced jalapeños and gooey melted cheddar cheese mixed into the croquette batter. The heat from the peppers perfectly complements the rich salmon flavor.

3. Cajun-Style Salmon Croquettes

Infused with bold Cajun spices like paprika, cayenne, and garlic, these croquettes bring a Louisiana kick to your plate. Serve them with a side of creamy Creole dipping sauce for an extra punch.

4. Lemon-Dill Salmon Croquettes

For a fresh and zesty twist, add lemon zest and chopped dill to your croquettes. These flavors brighten up the dish and pair beautifully with a light yogurt or tzatziki sauce.

5. Sweet Potato & Salmon Croquettes

A Southern favorite! Swap out traditional breadcrumbs for mashed sweet potatoes, giving these croquettes a slightly sweet and smoky flavor. Perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside!

6. Asian-Inspired Salmon Croquettes

Add a fusion twist by mixing in soy sauce, ginger, and green onions. Serve these croquettes with a side of spicy sriracha mayo or sweet chili sauce for a delightful flavor combination.

7. Garlic-Parmesan Salmon Croquettes

Rich, savory, and loaded with cheesy goodness! A blend of minced garlic and grated Parmesan cheese makes these croquettes irresistibly flavorful. Pair them with a garlic aioli for dipping.


At Southern Twist, we love creating dishes that feel like home while bringing exciting new flavors to the table. No matter which variation you try, salmon croquettes are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
