Salmon croquettes from Mother Rimmy are a light meal that celebrates this seasonal fish. Fresh or canned salmon is combined with green onions, mayonnaise, egg whites, and breadcrumbs before they are formed into patties and pan fried. For an even healthier version, you can bake these croquettes. You can also turn these croquettes into sliders by simply placing them within a bun with lettuce, tomato, and a touch of mayonnaise. At 214 calories a pop, you will be saving on calories but not sacrificing flavor.
