Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 14.75 ounces canned wild-caught salmon
- 0.5 cup almond flour
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons green onions, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (check label for Whole30 compliance)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
Open the can of salmon and drain off any excess liquid. Transfer the salmon to a large mixing bowl and flake it with a fork.
Add the almond flour, eggs, green onions, parsley, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix everything together until well combined.
Divide the mixture into eight equal portions, and gently form each portion into a patty about 1/2 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, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Depending on the size of your skillet, you may need to cook in batches.
Cook the salmon cakes for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Once cooked, transfer the salmon cakes to a plate lined with paper towels to remove any excess oil.
Serve immediately, garnished with additional fresh parsley if desired.
