Salmon Croquettes

Garnish salmon croquettes with slices of lemon and serve.

Finely chop one pound of salmon; mix two tablespoonfuls of flour and one tablespoonful of butter together; boil one-half pint of cream; mix the butter, flour and salmon in with it, and stir all over the fire for a minute. Work in a well-beaten egg with the above ingredients, remove them from the fire, and leave them until they are cold. Shape the mixture into croquettes, dip them in beaten egg then in bread-crumbs, and fry them in boiling fat. When cooked, drain the croquettes, place them on an ornamental dish paper or a folded napkin spread on a hot dish, garnish with slices of lemon and serve.
