Open the canned salmon and drain well. Place the salmon in a large mixing bowl and use a fork to break it apart into smaller pieces.
Add the egg, almond flour, chopped green onion, chopped parsley, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the bowl with the salmon.
Mix all the ingredients together until well combined. The mixture should hold together when squeezed. If it seems too dry, add a little more egg; if too wet, add a bit more almond flour.
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each into a patty about 1 inch thick.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the salmon cakes into the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Transfer the salmon cakes to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve the salmon cakes warm with your choice of side dish and garnish with an additional spritz of lemon juice and more fresh parsley if desired.
