The method

Step by step

1
In a large bowl, combine the flaked canned salmon, beaten egg, almond flour, fresh dill, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
About 2 min
Cook’s note: Ensure the salmon is well-drained to prevent soggy cakes.
2
Mix all ingredients thoroughly until well combined.
About 1 min
3
Form the mixture into 8 equal-sized patties, about 1 inch thick.
About 5 min
Cook’s note: Lightly moisten your hands with water to prevent sticking while forming the patties.
4
Heat the avocado oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
About 2 min
Cook’s note: Use a skillet large enough to fit all cakes without overcrowding, or cook in batches.
5
Carefully place the salmon cakes into the hot skillet.
6
Cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
About 10 min
Cook’s note: Avoid moving the cakes too much to allow a nice crust to form.
7
Remove from the skillet and serve immediately.
Cook’s note: These are delicious with a side of mixed greens or a squeeze of fresh lemon.
