Sinfully delicious! My mother used to serve salmon croquettes with a white sauce. Me? I prefer crab. I like the croquettes with a Caesar salad, steamed asparagus with lemon, and warm crusty bread and cold butter. Add a nice white wine and I'm in heaven. Ingredients:

1 teaspoon worcestershire sauce |
6 drops tabasco sauce |
1/4 teaspoon old bay seasoning |
2 tablespoons butter |
3 tablespoons olive oil |
1/4 cup butter |
1/2 cup flour |
2 cups light cream |
1/4 teaspoon paprika |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
