Ingredients
Salmon Patties:
- 6 ounces (drained weight) canned salmon (I like Costco’s Kirkland Boneless & Skinless Wild Salmon)
- 1/2 cup blanched almond flour
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground thyme
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Frying:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Spicy Dill-Garlic Dip:
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh dill
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Combine all dill-garlic dip ingredients and stir together until well-mixed. Cover and refrigerate while you work on the salmon patties.
- Drain the canned salmon, and discard any bones and skin. Pat the meat dry with paper towels. Use a digital food scale to measure out 6 ounces to use for this recipe (this is important if your can(s) did not list the drained weight, or if you removed a significant amount of bones and skin).
- In a large mixing bowl, add all salmon patty ingredients and stir until well-mixed, breaking apart any large chunks of salmon. Divide the mixture into 5 equal-sized balls and use a turner spatula to flatten them into 2-3 inch patties (a nonstick working surface like parchment paper or baking mat is useful).
- Heat olive oil in a large pan (wide enough to fit 5 patties without touching each other) over medium heat until hot.
- Use a turner spatula to carefully lower patties, one at a time, evenly spaced out in the hot oil. Tilt the pan to ensure good oil coverage around all of the patties.
- Fry until they’re browned and crispy on the bottom, 5 to 6 minutes. Flip the patties and repeat for the other side, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer them onto a paper towel to drain a bit.
- Transfer the salmon patties onto serving plates, depositing a dollop of dill-garlic dip on top of each cake with the remainder on the side. Enjoy while hot and crispy.
