HOME COOKING SAMPLER

GARNISH

Preheat the oven to 350~. Thoroughly grease 6 individual ramekins or custard cups with 1 tbsp of the butter. Place the flaked salmon in a bowl.

Add ¾ cup of the bread crumbs, the scallion, dill, lemon zest, egg, and cream. Mix gently with a fork. Season with salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper. Divide the mixture among the buttered cups and pack it down slightly. Top the croquettes with the remaining ¼ cup of bread crumbs.

Dot with the remaining tbsp of butter.

Arrange the cups in a roasting pan. Pour in enough hot water to come halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Bake until fairly firm and set, about 30 mins. Cool for 5 to 10 mins. The croquettes can be unmolded, right side up, or served in the ramekins. Top each croquette with sour cream and caviar, or simply garnish with lemon.
