PANKO-CRUSTED SALMON CROQUETTES

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover mashed potatoes. If you don't have any, just microwave 1 large or 2 medium baking potatoes, then mash them (skin and all) with some butter. Resist the temptation to add salt while preparing these croquettes; the ingredients have enough.
