Remove the skin and bones from salmon, pick meat into small pieces, and add sauce. Mix lightly. Divided into twelve equal parts and form croquettes. Dip in egg and lightly roll in bread crumbs, place in frying basket and fry eight minutes until golden colour, remove, drain and dress on a dish with a folded napkin. Decorate with parsley and serve with tartare sauce.

We made a healthier version (baked not fried and with chutney) that got great reviews from all who tried them.
