Salmon Croquettes Ala Bongo

Ingredients:

Approximately 1 pound of fresh salmon filet (cut lengthwise relative to the
fish, not a cross section).  Wash away any scales and remove the skin.  Set the
skin aside for salmon skin roll snacks.  If you don't like the skin, feed it to
the cat.
1 12 oz can of cream of mushroom soup.  Use some other cream of veggie soup
like asparagus or celery if you prefer. Can substitute with a clear fish broth
instead of soup, if the cream is too heavy for your palate.
1/2 cup of finely chopped celery
1/2 cup of finely chopped green onions (or equivalent mass of white onions if
you prefer)
1/2 cup of finely chopped Shitake mushrooms (softened in water if dried)
2 large eggs (at least enough to coat the patties)
1/2 pound of white bread crumbs (at least enough to bread the patties)
Peanut oil or any other oil that has a high flash point.

Equipment:

Blender or bread mixer.
Wok or other deep frying appliance.
2 Large mixing bowls.
Long chop sticks or wooden tongs.

What to do:

Put the salmon in the blender and set it on SLOW.  Mix it slowly enough to chop
up the flesh into the consistency of hamburger.  Too fast and you've got puree.
Might as well change the menu to cream of salmon soup.
Spoon out the salmon into a large mixing bowl.
Add the celery, onions, mushroom.  Mix lightly.
Scoop out enough for two or three patties and put that into a separate bowl.
In the separate bowl, add just enough cream of soup to moisten the mix and make
it hold together.  Add only a little at a time as you form the patties so mix
won't get too soupy.  No need to add salt since the soup should have enough
sodium to raise anyone's blood pressure.

Mix thoroughly together. 

Fill the wok about 1/3 to 1/2 full.  Start heating the oil.  It should be more
than hot enough by the time you finish preparing the patties.
Scoop out the mixture and form into small patties.
Break the eggs into another bowl and scramble them.
Season the white bread crumbs to taste.  Now you can add salt, pepper, parsely
flakes for looks, etc.
Dip each patty into the raw egg bowl.  Then roll the wet patty in the seasoned
bread crumbs.
Check if the oil is hot enough. I usually plunge the end of the chopsticks into
the oil and if it sizzles, it's ready.
Immediately slide a patty into the hot oil.  When the croquette is done it will
float back up to the surface and should be a golden brown.  Fish it out, put it
on the little wire shelf that comes with your wok, and let the oil drain away.
When the patty is drained, set it aside on a plate covered with a paper towel.
Repeat until all the croquette patties are cooked.

Should serve enough for a boat load of people.
Recommended sauce is soy flavored with a touch of ground ginger, but Lea and
Perrins Worchester isn't bad either.

Steam for two more minutes.
Chop up some cilantro - enough for about 2 oz. per person.

Sturgeon Pour Porpeys (Fifteenth Century)

Ingredients

1 pound 1 oz filleted Fish
1/2 teaspoon Ginger
Paste:
2 cup white Flour
1 cup whole wheat Flour
1 cup Water, approximately
1 teaspoon Cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon Pepper
1/2 tablespoon Salt

Method

Mix flour together, stir in water, knead to a smooth dough. Divide in 24 portions. Roll out each portion into an oval about 4"x5 1/2". Cut a piece of fish about 1 1/2"x3"x3/8". Mix ginger, cinnamon, and salt. Take 1/8 t of the mixture, put about half of it on one end of the rolled out piece of dough, put on the piece of fish, put the rest of the spice mixture on the fish. Fold over the other half of the dough and seal the edges, using a wet finger if necessary; it should look like a big ravioli. Put on a baking sheet and bake 20-30 minutes at 325deg. . Eat. Variants: You can make smaller or larger pasties, as you like; what I describe is simply one way that works. As an alternative to the ravioli shape, you can roll out the dough in a roughly circular shape, put the fish in the middle, pull the dough up around the edges and join it on top--sort of like a sui mai.
