Savory Salmon & Dill Breakfast Cakes
Ingredients
- 2 cans (5 oz each) wild salmon, drained well
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup almond flour
- 2 green onions, finely sliced
- 2 tbsp fresh dill, chopped (or 2 tsp dried)
- Zest of ½ lemon
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- ¼ tsp salt and black pepper to taste
- 1–2 tbsp olive oil, for the pan
Instructions
- 1Flake the drained salmon into a bowl, removing any large bones if you prefer (the soft bones are edible and a good calcium source).
- 2Add the eggs, almond flour, green onions, dill, lemon zest, Dijon, salt, and pepper. Mix until it holds together when pressed.
- 3Form into 6 patties, about ½ inch thick.
- 4Heat the olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium. Cook the cakes 3–4 minutes per side, until golden and set.
- 5Serve with a dollop of Greek yogurt, a squeeze of lemon, or alongside sliced avocado and greens.
These reheat well and freeze beautifully — make a double batch for grab-and-go mornings.
