Easy & Healthy Keto Salmon Patties
Whip up these delightful Keto Salmon Patties for a quick, healthy, and low-carb meal! Perfect for a weeknight dinner or meal prep.
Equipment
- Large mixing bowl
- Large skillet
Ingredients
- 1 (14.75 ounce) can flaked salmon drained (or 2 cups cooked flaked salmon), skin and bones removed
- ½ cup dried keto breadcrumbs or almond flour
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise (full-fat for keto) or plain Greek yogurt for a lighter option
- 1 green onion chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh chopped dill
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper or to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil for frying
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, gently whisk together the egg, mayonnaise (or yogurt), chopped green onion, fresh dill, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until everything is smoothly combined.
- Carefully fold in the flaked salmon and keto breadcrumbs (or almond flour) until they are just mixed. Be gentle to avoid overmixing, which helps keep your patties light and tender.
- Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and lightly form them into ½-inch thick patties. Remember not to press them too tightly for the crispiest, most delicious results.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the salmon patties into the skillet. Cook them for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they turn beautifully golden brown and crispy. (For an even healthier approach, you can air fry or bake them until golden and cooked through!)
- Serve your delightful salmon patties immediately with a fresh squeeze of lemon, or your favorite low-carb tartar sauce or tzatziki. Enjoy your healthy, homemade meal!
