Method
 

Preparation
  1. Combine mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, capers, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, and fresh dill in a bowl. Mix until smooth and refrigerate.
  2. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Place salmon on a baking sheet with oil, salt, and pepper. Bake for 15-20 minutes until flaky. Let cool and flake.
  3. Melt butter in a pan, sauté shallots until translucent, then add garlic for 1 minute. Remove from heat and add to the flaked salmon.
  4. Mix flaked salmon, mashed potatoes, breadcrumbs, Old Bay, and Dijon mustard until combined. Shape into oval croquettes.
  5. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry croquettes for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
  6. Serve hot, garnished with parsley, with remoulade for dipping.
