Salmon Croquettes

So.  I've heard lots of people praise croquettes.  I've never had them.

I also had a salmon fillet thawing on my counter and wasn't sure what I wanted to do with it.  So, of course, my first instinct was to search 'salmon' on foodnetwork.com

I found this: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/paula-deen/salmon-croquettes-recipe/index.html

They turned out like this:

Right?!

They were delicious.  I didn't use canned salmon, per the recipe.  I gave the salmon fillet about 4 minutes on each side in a skillet I sprayed with cooking spray.  Then let it cool a bit before I broke it apart.  I didn't really measure anything.  I also used just a bit of canola oil on the bottom of another skillet for frying purposes - maybe 1/4 an inch.  It was the perfect amount and I didn't feel the croquettes were super oily. 

The quinoa - this is only the second time I've made it.  I didn't wash it enough - it was a little bitter still.  I threw chives, garlic, and a small pat of butter and stirred that in after the quinoa had finished boiling.  Overall it was good, but I made too much.  

And really, who doesn't love steamed broccoli?
