Ingredients

• 1 pound fresh salmon fillets
• 0.5 cup almond flour
• 2 large eggs
• 3 stalks green onions
• 0.25 cup fresh parsley
• 2 garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the fresh salmon. Remove any skin and bones, and cut the salmon fillets into large chunks.

Step 2

Place the salmon chunks in a food processor and pulse until coarsely chopped. Be careful not to over-process; you want the salmon to maintain some texture.

Step 3

Chop the green onions finely and mince the garlic cloves. Also, chop the fresh parsley.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped salmon, almond flour, eggs, green onions, parsley, minced garlic, lemon zest, Dijon mustard, sea salt, and black pepper.

Step 5

Mix the ingredients thoroughly until they are well combined. If the mixture seems too wet, you can add a little more almond flour.

Step 6

Using your hands, form the mixture into 8 evenly-sized patties. Press them firmly to ensure they hold together.

Step 7

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 8

Once the oil is hot, carefully place the salmon cakes in the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 9

Transfer the cooked salmon cakes to a plate lined with paper towels to remove any excess oil.

Step 10

Serve the Paleo salmon cakes hot, with a side of fresh greens or your favorite dipping sauce.
