If you wish to omit the carrots, dollop all the rémoulade on the croquettes.

We eat a lot of Salmon and are always looking for recipes using leftover salmon. The first words out of my husband's mouth were this is delicious! I did not change anything in the recipe and will most definitely make this again! Thank you Cooking Light!

I have made this recipe (minus the carrots) many times and I love it. I add Panko to the crushed crackers at the end but otherwise I follow this directions exactly. I wasn't even a fan of salmon before but my husband and I crave this! I serve it on top a salad for a complete meal.

Embarrassed to say I did not read the recipe past "cover and chill 20 min." Couldn't figure where the carrots came in, so sauteed them with onions & celery and mixed them in the croquettes. Served with the carrotless remoulade. Absolutely delicious!!! Wish all my goofs turned out that well! Will make again the same way.

As many parents know, it's tough to find something healthy and nutritious that finicky kids (and husbands!) will eat. This was a simply wonderful recipe that both my husband and three small children loved! It was a bit time-consuming, but well worth the effort! Will serve these again.

I am always looking for fish recipes that are not boring but not high fat, and this one was just fabulous. It is a bit time intensive, with the multiple things to make up, but in the end I find it worth it. Don't forget the fridge time-- it makes the dough much easier to form into patties! Also, I used plain panko breadcrumbs in place of the saltines, since that is what I had-- no problems.

Delicious! What a great (and inexpensive) way to incorporate salmon into the diet. My husband hates salmon, but he loves these! He asks for them all the time. I don't keep saltines in the house, but breadcrumbs with a teaspoon of added salt works perfectly.
