Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 14.75 oz canned salmon
- 0.5 cup almond flour
- 2 pcs large eggs
- 2 stalks green onions, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 0.25 tsp cayenne pepper
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 4 tbsp olive oil
- 1 whole lemon wedges
Instructions
Drain the canned salmon and remove any large bones and skin. Flake the salmon into a large mixing bowl.
Add the almond flour, eggs, chopped green onions, dill, lemon zest, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper to the bowl with the salmon.
Mix all the ingredients together using a fork or your hands until well combined.
Shape the mixture into 8 small patties, each about 2 inches in diameter.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, add half of the salmon patties to the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove the cooked croquettes from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the skillet and repeat the cooking process with the remaining patties.
Serve the salmon croquettes warm, garnished with lemon wedges for squeezing over the top.
