Baked Salmon Croquettes

Ingredients

28 gr butter
425 gr salmon
220 gr bread crumbs
2 slices quality bread
1 scallion
5 gr dill
1/2 lemon
1 egg
240 ml cream
1 gr salt
120 ml sour cream

Instructions

Caviar Lemon wedges Preheat the oven to 180ÂșC Thoroughly grease 6 individual ramekins or custard cups with 1 tablespoon of the butter. Place the flaked salmon in a bowl. Add 0.75 cup of the bread crumbs, the scallion, dill, lemon zest, egg, and cream. Mix gently with a fork. Season with salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper. Divide the mixture among the buttered cups and pack it down slightly. Top the croquettes with the remaining quarter cup of bread crumbs. Dot with the remaining tablespoon of butter. Arrange the cups in a roasting pan. Pour in enough hot water to come halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Bake until fairly firm and set, about 30 mins. Cool for 5 to 10 mins. The croquettes can be unmolded, right side up, or served in the ramekins. Top each croquette with sour cream and caviar, or simply garnish with lemon. Author Peggy K. Glass ----
