Meal No. 2809: Salmon Croquettes

Friday had a dreary rainy start but by mid-afternoon it finally let the sun return to us, even though the breezes remained strong and bracing. After being cooped up in the house for a couple of days with rain and storms, Sumner and I jetted out around 5 pm for a roughly 5-mile downtown circuit, he full of energy and his legs digging and pumping most of the steps along the way. We were both ready for our suppers but his was not nearly so good. On the Roediger House dinner plates: salmon croquettes with chili-lime-garlic aïoli and roasted garlic green beans. It took about two days to feel like the heavy garlic-on-the-tongue sensation dissipated.


Recipe sent to me by my sister Allison, who cracked up when I asked about the source: adapted from "Salmon Burgers" (p. 396) and "Herb Sauce" (p. 395), from Denise Austin, Shrink Your Female Fat Zones, Rodale Books (2003).

"Chili-Lime Aïoli," from David Wald of Princeton, NJ, May 2009.
