Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups cooked salmon (fresh or canned, drained)
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup almond flour
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp chopped parsley
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil for frying

Equipment

  • 1 Mixing Bowl
  • 1 Frying pan/skillet
  • 1 Spatula
  • 1 Measuring cups and spoons
  • 1 Plate lined with paper towels

Method
 

  1. Mix Ingredients: Add cooked salmon to a large bowl then add eggs, almond flour, mayo, parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper. Stir until everything blends evenly.
  2. Shape Patties: Split the mixture into portions and shape them into small circular patties roughly ½-inch thick. Uniform size ensures they cook at the same rate.
  3. Heat Oil: Heat up some olive oil or avocado oil in a pan over medium heat. When oil is nice and hot, drop the patties in.
  4. Cook Patties: Place patties in the skillet without overlapping. Fry on both sides for 3-4 minutes or until golden and crispy. Flip gently with a spatula.
  5. Drain the Excess Oil: Place the cooked patties on a plate lined with paper towels to take out any additional oil.
  6. Rest and Serve: Rest the patties for 5 minutes, then serve with your favorite keto dip.

Notes

  • Cool mixture for 10 minutes before shaping (creates a firmer patty).
  • Fresh herbs, such as dill or cilantro, add an extra layer of flavor.
  • Do not overcrowd pan; make in batches if necessary.
  • Dip in a keto-friendly sauce such as garlic aioli or sour cream.
  • Note Canned salmon with bones can be used for additional calcium.
