INSTRUCTIONS
COATING
MELT THE BUTTER IN A SAUCEPAN over moderate heat, blend in the flour,
slowly add the milk. Heat, stirring constantly, until thickened. Off the
heat, mix in all seasonings, the egg yolk, soft bread crumbs, salmon and
lemon juice. Cover and chill 3 to 4 hours. Shape the mixture into 8 patties
or sausage-shaped rolls, dip into the beaten egg, then roll in crumbs to
coat. Let stand at room temperature on a wire rack while you heat the
shortening to 375F in a deep fat fryer. Place 3 or 4 croquettes in the
fryer basket, lower into the 375F fat and fry 2 to 3 minutes until golden
brown and crisp. Drain on paper toweling, then keep warm by setting,
uncovered, in an oven turned to its keep-warm setting while you fry the
rest. Serve hot with tartar sauce.
