In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground bison, minced garlic, finely chopped onion, coconut aminos, egg, almond flour, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper.
Gently mix the ingredients together using your hands or a large spoon until just combined. Avoid over-mixing to ensure burgers remain tender.
Divide the mixture into four equal parts and shape them into patties, each about ¾-inch thick. Ensure the patties are a uniform thickness to cook evenly.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the bison patties to the skillet, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. You may need to do this in batches depending on skillet size.
Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. Bison should be cooked to at least 145°F for medium-rare.
Remove the patties from the skillet and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This helps retain their juices.
Serve the bison burgers wrapped in lettuce leaves or on Paleo-friendly buns with your favorite toppings such as avocado, tomato slices, or Paleo ketchup.
