Ingredients

• 1 lb fresh salmon fillets, skinless and boneless
• 1/4 cup almond flour
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 2 green onions, finely sliced
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 lettuce leaves
• 1 avocado, sliced

Directions

Step 1

Begin by cutting the salmon into small chunks. If using a food processor, pulse the salmon until coarsely ground. Alternatively, you can finely chop it with a sharp knife.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground salmon, almond flour, chopped parsley, green onions, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix until all the ingredients are well combined.

Step 3

Divide the salmon mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a patty. If needed, wet your hands slightly to help form the patties.

Step 4

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the salmon patties to the skillet.

Step 5

Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.

Step 6

Once cooked, remove from the skillet and place the patties on a paper towel to drain any excess oil.

Step 7

To assemble the burgers, place each salmon patty between lettuce leaves and top with a few slices of avocado.

Step 8

Serve immediately and enjoy your healthy, Whole30 compliant salmon burgers!
