                       SALMON CROQUETTES:
  2      cans          salmon -- drained
    1/2  cup           finely chopped onion
    1/2  cup           finely chopped celery
    1/2  teaspoon      dried tarragon
                       salt and freshly ground pepper -- to taste
    1/2  cup           mayonnaise
  1      tablespoon    Dijon mustard
  1                    egg -- lightly beaten
  1 1/3  cups          cracker crumbs -- divided
  8                    carrots -- peeled
  2      tablespoons   corn oil
  2      tablespoons   butter

1. Make Remoulade sauce: In small bowl, combine 3/4 cup mayonnaise, 2
teaspoons Dijon mustard, whole-grain mustard, 1 teaspoon tarragon, hot
pepper sauce, capers, parsley, green onion, salt, and pepper. Set aside,
covered, in the refrigerator.

2. Carefully flake the salmon into a bowl, discarding any small bones,
cartilage, and skin. Add the onion, celery, 1/2 teaspoon tarragon, salt,
and pepper; fold together with rubber spatula.

3. Combine 1/2 cup mayonnaise with 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, then mix
into the salmon. With a rubber spatula, fold in the egg and 1/3 cup of
the crackers crumbs.

4. Form the mixture into 8 patties and coat with the remaining cracker
crumbs. Refrigerate, loosely covered, for 1 hour.

5. Meanwhile, coarsely grate the carrots into a large bowl. Toss with
1/3 cup of the Remoulade sauce, using a fork to break up the clumps.

6. Heat 1 tablespoon each of the oil and butter in a nonstick skillet.
Cook the croquettes over medium heat until golden, about 3 to 4 minutes
per side, adding more oil and butter if necessary. Serve topped with a
dollop of Remoulade sauce and the carrots alongside.
