Ingredients
- 14 oz canned salmon
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup almond flour
- 2 tbsp green onion, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Open the canned salmon and drain well. Place the salmon in a large mixing bowl and use a fork to break it apart into smaller pieces.
Step 2
Add the egg, almond flour, chopped green onion, chopped parsley, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the bowl with the salmon.
Step 3
Mix all the ingredients together until well combined. The mixture should hold together when squeezed. If it seems too dry, add a little more egg; if too wet, add a bit more almond flour.
Step 4
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each into a patty about 1 inch thick.
Step 5
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 6
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the salmon cakes into the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 7
Transfer the salmon cakes to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 8
Serve the salmon cakes warm with your choice of side dish and garnish with an additional spritz of lemon juice and more fresh parsley if desired.
