- 2 tablespoons shallots, minced
- Zest of one lemon
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon hot sauce

- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 egg, slightly beaten
- 5 (5oz) packets of skinless, boneless Pink Salmon
- 2 tablespoons olive oil

INSTRUCTIONS
- In a large bowl, stir together mashed sweet potato, bread crumbs, parsley, shallots, lemon zest and juice, hot sauce and seasonings. Stir in egg and salmon; mix together just until blended.
- Line a baking sheet or large plate with parchment paper. Using a 1/3 cup measuring cup, scoop out evenly sized croquettes until you have twelve patties. Chill in refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (you can also freeze the patties for future use).
- While croquettes are chilling, prepare dressing. Place all ingredients in a blender; blend until smooth and set aside.
- In large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of oil in medium high heat. Place six croquettes into skillet and cook for about 4 minutes or until golden brown. Gently flip and cook another 4 minutes. Place croquettes on baking sheet and warm (250 degrees) and repeat with remaining oil and croquettes.
- Serve 2 croquettes over mixed green salad. Top with two tablespoons of dressing.
