Ingredients
- 1 scallion
- 1 egg
- 1/2 lemon
- 1 1/2 lb salmon (fresh)
- 1 c cream (heavy)

- 2 tb butter
- 1 tb dill (fresh)
- 1/2 ts salt

Caviar Lemon wedges Preheat the oven to 350~. Thoroughly grease 6 individual ramekins or custard cups with 1 tbsp of the butter. Place the flaked salmon in a bowl. Add 3/4 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 1/4 cup of bread crumbs. Dot with the remaining tbsp 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 ----
