My husband is the salmon lover in our house. It seems like he can’t get enough of it!

They’re easy to prepare – we’re making these salmon patties using canned salmon for minimal prep! Keep the canned salmon in your cupboard and you can make these salmon patties anytime you’re in a dinner crunch.
I pair these with a homemade tartar sauce – am I the only one that could eat tartar sauce on just about everything? So good!!

Salmon – I’m keeping this recipe very simple and using canned, boneless skinless salmon! It’s so easy and it works well for making patties.
Egg – A couple of large eggs for binding the other ingredients into the patty.
Almond Flour – When you mix this with egg and herbs it creates a wonderful low carb binding that’ll hold the salmon patty together and add flavor.
Green Onion – We add chopped green onion right into the salmon patty mixture for even more flavor!
Herbs – I like to mix in some fresh dill and fresh parsley when making the patties.
Salt & Pepper – You can use more or less of this to taste.
Butter – You’ll need some butter for frying the patties in a skillet!

How To Make Keto Salmon Patties:
Ingredients – We’re going to start with canned salmon to keep things nice and easy. Add that to a mixing bowl along with the rest of the ingredients.
Mix – Stir well to combine all of the salmon patty ingredients and you’re ready to cook! Told you that salmon patties using canned salmon were super easy and quick! 😉
Scoop – I use a medium sized cookie scoop to portion these low carb salmon patties. Once scooped, press the salmon into a patty. This recipe should make about 10 salmon patties.
Fry – Add the patties to a hot skillet with some melted butter and fry them up until golden brown on each side. The salmon is fully cooked already, so we’re just looking to brown the outsides and heat them through. That’ll take about 3 minutes per side.
Your fried salmon patties are ready to devour!

This recipe was very good but I would like to try adding mayo next time and maybe a bit of lemon juice. I tried them with some “Sir Kensington’s” Truffle Garlic Aioli which went very well with these. I also added in 30g of hemp hearts for some extra fat and protein. I grew up eating salmon patties a lot so this was a treat for sure.
