Heat a medium nonstick skillet over high heat until hot. Add ½ of the avocado oil and heat for a few seconds until hot.

Turn the heat down to medium-high heat and cook for about 2 minutes on the first side until nicely golden brown.Step 4
Flip the cakes and gently press them with a spatula to slightly flatten them, then cook on the second side until nicely browned about 2 minutes. You may have to cook the cakes in two batches depending on the size of your skillet.Step 5

Can these be prepared and frozen for later? Has anyone attempted so?

I haven’t tried that but I think if you flash freeze them on a plate individually first then put in a freezer bag they wouldn’t become icy. IMO

Added chopped onion

Be careful w/onions; 1/4 C adds 5g carbs

These can't be anything more than a tablespoon in size, and just used as an appetizer. 10 servings out of a 14 oz can????? It certainly isn't a "meal".

Has anyone used fresh salmon for this in place of canned?
HealthyFatsGirl 🤗 3 days ago
No. I wouldn’t waste fresh salmon doing this. I don’t believe chef’s would either.

Well I added two tablespoons of almond flour, teaspoon of onion and oregano, but also sprinkled magic salmon seasoning on them too; and these are great! Blew it on the avocado oil also but fried them in coconut oil

I like to add some chopped onion or shallot to the mixture and serve with dill relish and mayo

These are great and will work well during the week! I reduced the salt to 1/4 t. and crumbled 1 slice of keto bread into the mixture (as a binder), otherwise made as directed. Yum!

Crushed pork rinds are keto and make a great binder…holds together well.

I like that Idea

I've made these twice now with minor modifications; I didn't add the spices beyond (Smoke n Sanity low fodmap) garlic salt + pepper, and didn't add nearly as much "garlic" salt as the recipe called for kosher salt. My canned salmon wasn't unsalted, and I think that's what messed up the reviewers who complained about saltiness... anyway, the first time they were good but a little too moist. Tonight I added a tablespoon of psyllium husk, and that helped them stay together with less effort in the pan and the texture is great. I'll definitely be making these often.

Right ,with the mayo and egg you need a binder. Pork rind crumbs would work

YUM! I used tuna instead of salmon, and coconut oil instead of avacado oil. I also used curry powder instead of mustard powder. Super delicious!!

We love them! Thank you easy!!! Did put salt in them.
FabulousKetone567985 4 years ago
Way, way, Way too salty!!!!! I’m thinking it must be a typo on the recipe. Who needs more salt with canned salmon? I followed the recipe before I tasted yuck! I didn’t realize canned salmon was already salty. This recipe is probably good as long as you don’t add the salt.
FantasticKetone175456 a year ago
Could be the brand of salmon you used, also you have to drain it , use the brand that does not have bones or skin

You can bread these make them in a Patti then coat with raw scrambled egg then coat with almond flour fry in oil
FantasticKetone175456 a year ago
Maybe coat with panko

Step 1 says to combine ALL ingredients in a mixing bowl, but I think it means all ingredients EXCEPT the oil. (Maybe I'm the only one who took step 1 literally? Haha)[

This is a great recipe! I added some chili and cayenne pepper and used coconut oil to fry in. They came out fabulous.

Where have these been my whole life, I love them. I only used the oil for frying and I will cut the salt to 1/2 tsp next time.
