Description

Easy grain-free salmon cakes recipe. One bowl, no fuss. Great weeknight dinner.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 (14.75 ounce) cans wild-caught Alaskan salmon
  • 1 cup almond meal/flour (or substitute bread crumbs)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 12 teaspoons lemon zest
  • oil for pan-frying (I usually use coconut oil)

Instructions

  1. If you are using salmon with the skin and bones, mash them together well with a fork in a large bowl.  Add the rest of the ingredients (except the oil) and mix it together well.
  2. Cover a large skillet with a thin layer of oil and heat it over medium heat.  To make patties, use about 1/4-1/3 cup of the salmon mixture and form it into a patty shape.  To make nuggets, use about 1 tablespoon.  Cook the cakes/nuggets in the oil, about 5 minutes per side for the cakes, a little less for the nuggets, until they are golden brown.  Serve and enjoy!
