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.Nutrition information is an estimate based on common ingredients and serving sizes.
