Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh salmon fillet, skinless
- 0.5 cup almond flour
- 1 large egg
- 2 stalks green onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 0.75 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large avocado, sliced
- 4 whole lettuce leaves
Instructions
1. Chop the salmon fillet into small chunks and transfer to a food processor. Pulse a few times until the salmon is finely chopped but not pureed.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped salmon, almond flour, egg, green onion, garlic, dill, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.
3. Divide the salmon mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 1/2-inch thick.
4. Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
5. Carefully add the salmon patties to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
6. Remove the patties from the skillet and let them rest on a paper towel-lined plate for a minute to remove excess oil.
7. To assemble the salmon burgers, place each patty on a lettuce leaf, top with slices of avocado, and cover with another lettuce leaf to create a burger wrap.
8. Serve immediately and enjoy your low carb salmon burger!
