Salmon Patty Recipe (From a Can) - Keto, Low Carb, High Protein Recipe

 Salmon Patties From A Can - Quick Dinner Recipe 

Make dinner in a pinch! These easy salmon patties are great for a quick high protein meal when you don't have much time. They are made with ground almonds and crust up nicely when you pan "fry" them. They are great for keto or low carb or any healthy lifestyle nutrition program. The perfect blend of protein and healthy fats. You can easily adjust this recipe. They reheat okay in the microwave or throw in the air fryer to crisp up again! I have made it with canned tuna and it was equally delicious!

Yields 3-4 servings

1 large can of salmon, drained
1 egg

1/4 cup of almonds ground (use a coffee, spice grinder, vitamix or ninja blender).
pinch of salt, pepper, garlic powder, a little cajun seasoning

1 Jalapeno, seeded and chopped (optional)

3 green onions, chopped (optional)

2 tbsp grated Parmesan (optional)

Combine all the ingredients and let it sit for 5-10 min or longer to absorb the liquid. I read you can add a tbsp of coconut flour to absorb more liquid but I didn't have any issues cooking them without it. 

In an iron skillet or non stick pan melt a little ghee, olive oil, coconut oil or avocado oil. Make patties out of the mixture and cook until brown on each side. Enjoy! 

I made mine with air fryer zucchini and a greek inspired cucumber tomato salad. 

If you want to make a simple sauce you can combine a little greek yogurt with fresh lemon juice, horseradish, a little tabasco, drizzle of honey, salt, pepper, garlic, & onion powder.
