Isn't the only difference between salmon patties and croquettes
the shape? At least the ones I have had taste pretty much the
same, with patties being flat and croquettes round(ish). like a
small salmon log. Though,I seem to recall croquettes
occasionally served with a sauce/gravy poured over and have never
had that with salmon patties.

Yes, to me croquettes are shaped like small logs.
