This recipe is easy to make and sure to be a favorite! Croquettes are a classic dish served around the world and can be made with a variety of fillings, from potato to seafood. Traditionally coated in breadcrumbs and deep-fried, they are served as appetizers in some parts of the world, some places are a snack, and as the main course in others. This baked croquette recipe turns out golden brown, and with a nice crunch, no frying necessary. Start by peeling and slicing sweet potatoes and roasting along with a fillet of salmon.

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 pound sweet potatoes
• 1 1/2 pounds salmon fillets
• 1/3 cup parsley chopped
• 2 tablespoon fresh dill chopped
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon onion finely minced
• 1-2 tablespoons jalapeno finely minced, depending on the heat
• 3/4 teaspoons sea salt
• 1 egg
• 1 1/2 cups breadcrumbs

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Peel and slice sweet potatoes, and add to a baking tray along with salmon fillet. 
2. In the Sharp Superheated Steam Countertop Oven, bake at 425 for 20 minutes. In a conventional oven, bake at 425 for 30 minutes.
3. Once the potatoes and salmon are baked, add the sweet potatoes, herbs, lemon juice, onion, jalapeno, and sea salt to a food processor and process until the potato is broken up.
4. Add the baked salmon, and pulse until the salmon is mixed in, but still in chunks. Don't overprocess.
5. Whisk an egg in a bowl, and add breadcrumbs to a second bowl.
6. Form 1/4 cup sized patties. The mixture is soft, and a bit sticky, but form them delicately. The mixture is easier to form into patties if it's chilled.
7. Dip each patty into the egg, and then coat in breadcrumbs.
8. Bake croquettes in the Sharp Superheated Steam Countertop Oven on Broil/Grill on 425 for 12 minutes, and then flip and continue baking for another 4 minutes. In a conventional oven, bake on 425 for 15 minutes, and then flip and continue baking another 6 minutes.
