  • Step 1

    Combine all ingredients in a medium mixing bowl.
    Step 1
  • Step 2

    Mix until well combined.
    Step 2
  • Step 3

    Heat a medium nonstick skillet over high heat until hot. Add ½ of the avocado oil and heat for a few seconds until hot. Then using a 1 oz cookie scoop drop the salmon onto the skillet making sure the mounds are not touching. Turn the heat down to medium-high heat and cook for about 2 minutes on the first side until nicely golden brown.
    Step 3
  • 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 4
  • Step 5

    Remove to a paper towel lined plate until ready to serve. Serve hot!

    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'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!!

            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.

              Could be the brand of salmon you used, also you have to drain it , use the brand that does not have bones or skin

            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)[

            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.

                        Serving sizes 1 and 1/2 but because there are zero carbs you could eat three or four no problem fat content is great and calories isn't that much

                        These were a hit in our home. They are on rotation.

                          Definitely a keeper, quick easy and tasty. It’s a bit too salty and I’ll add more herbs like the others had noted, but basically it is a really good recipe!

                            Made these for breakfast and they were fantastic, quick and easy. I added some dill, chives and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to make the flavors a lil brighter and it was a perfect addition. A definite go to.
