• 4 ounces Cream cheese, softened
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Fresh dill, chopped
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, psyllium husk powder, baking powder, and salt. Mix well.

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the buns are firm and golden brown. Allow to cool slightly.

While the buns are baking, prepare the sardine filling. Drain the canned sardines, reserving the oil, and mash them in a bowl.
