Equipment

  • Cast iron skillet
  • large cookie scoop
  • Large bowl

Ingredients

  • 3 6-ounce cans wild alaskan salmon drained and moisture squeezed out in a paper towel
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chives finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice from about half a lemon
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 cup avocado oil

Instructions

  • Heat your cast iron skillet over medium heat.
  • In a large bowl, combine the salmon, almond flour, mayonnaise, eggs, parsley, dill, chives, lemon juice, salt and garlic powder. Stir to combine.
  • Divide the mixture into 4 to make larger patties, or use a large cookie scoop (3 tablespoons) to make about 12-15 smaller slider size patties. Use a moderate amount of pressure to press them together.
  • Add the avocado oil to your warm pan. Cook the patties over medium heat for 3-5 minutes, until crispy and golden brown. Use a spatula to gently flip the patties, and continue cooking for another 3-5 minutes until golden brown.
  • Remove from the heat and transfer to a wire rack to rest and cool for 3 minutes.
  • Serve the salmon cakes warm topped with lemon garlic aioli or tartar sauce. I highly recommend serving these with my herby lemon coleslaw.
  • Leftovers will keep refrigerated in an airtight container for 5 days. These are surprisingly delicious served cold and crumbled over a salad.

Notes

Moisture tip: Squeeze out excess moisture from the canned salmon using paper towels to prevent the patties from breaking.
Texture tip: Flake the salmon with your fingers and avoid using a food processor to prevent a mushy, pasty texture.
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat in a hot skillet with a touch of butter or bake at 350.0 degrees F for 8 minutes to preserve the crisp crust.
