Ingredients

  • 2 Cans (14.75 oz) Wild Caught Salmon, Drained
  • 2 Large Eggs
  • 1/4 Cup Almond Flour
  • 1/4 Cup Grated Cheese
  • 2 Green Onions, Finely Chopped
  • 2 Cloves Garlic, Minced
  • 1 Tbl Dijon Mustard
  • 1 Tbl Lemon Juice
  • 1 Tsp Old Bay Seasoning
  • Salt/Pepper to Taste
  • 2 Tbl Avocado Oil
  • 1/4 Cup Chopped Fresh Parsley, Dill or Cilantro

For The Spicy Creamy Avocado Salsa

  • 2 Ripe Avocados, Diced
  • 1/4 Cup Red Onion, Finely Chopped
  • 1/4 Cup Chopped Fresh Cilantro or Parsley
  • 1 Jalapeno, Seeded/Chopped Finely
  • 1 Tbl Lime Juice
  • Salt/Pepper to Taste
  • 2 Tbl Sour Cream

Instructions

For The Salsa

  • In a bowl, combine diced avocado, red onion, cilantro, jalapeño (if using), lime juice, salt, and pepper.
  • Add sour cream and gently mix until well combined and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste. Set aside.

For the Salmon Cakes/Patties

  • In a large mixing bowl, flake the drained salmon using a fork. Add eggs, almond flour, Parmesan cheese, green onions, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, Old Bay seasoning, salt, pepper, and chopped parsley.
  • Mix until well combined and the mixture holds together. Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each into a patty.
  • Heat avocado oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the salmon patties in the skillet.
  • Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and heated through. Transfer cooked salmon cakes to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
  • Arrange the salmon cakes on a serving platter. Top each salmon cake with a dollop of the avocado "cream" salsa if desired. Add sliced lime wedges if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
  • This makes 4 servings/2 Salmon Cakes per serving.
