Directions and Instructions

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the flaked salmon, egg, and almond flour. Use a fork to mix until everything is well incorporated and the mixture is slightly sticky.
2. With your hands, form the mixture into small patties, about 2-3 inches in diameter. Be sure to pack them gently but firmly to hold their shape during cooking.
3. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. If desired, add a little oil to the pan to prevent sticking and enhance the golden color.
4. Carefully place the patties in the skillet, cooking for about 4-5 minutes on each side. You’re looking for a lovely golden brown color and a crisp texture, so keep an eye on them!
5. Once cooked through, remove the patties from the skillet and let them cool slightly on a wire rack or a plate before serving. This helps maintain their crispy exterior.

Notes or Tips

Feel free to customize these patties! Adding herbs like dill or parsley can give a fresh burst of flavor, while a dash of garlic powder or onion powder can add depth. Serve them with a squeeze of lemon or a dollop of sour cream for an extra flavor boost that’s simply divine!
