Salmon Croquettes - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 (14 ounce) can salmon, drained
1 medium onion (grated or whirred in the food processor)
salt and pepper
1/4 cup flour
1 1/2 cups milk
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, to taste (about)
1 cup seasoned bread crumbs (about)
2 eggs, beaten
2 tablespoons butter
sunflower oil (for frying)

Preparation

In a large frypan, heat butter over medium high heat, and saute onion and garlic powder.
Add salmon, season with salt and pepper (you may wish to add dill) and heat through.
Add flour and stir well.
Add milk gradually stirring constantly until mixture thickens and forms a ball.
Remove mixture to plate and allow to cool completely (this may be done the day before, and the mixture placed in the refrigerator--it's easier to work with this way).
Form into oval shaped croquettes, dip in egg and dredge in bread crumbs.
Deep fry in hot oil, and drain on paper towels.
This recipe can be made with practically anything, fish, chicken, ham, vegetables (spinach is lovely).
