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

  1. 1Flake the drained salmon into a bowl, removing any large bones if you prefer (the soft bones are edible and a good calcium source).
  2. 2Add the eggs, almond flour, green onions, dill, lemon zest, Dijon, salt, and pepper. Mix until it holds together when pressed.
  3. 3Form into 6 patties, about ½ inch thick.
  4. 4Heat the olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium. Cook the cakes 3–4 minutes per side, until golden and set.
  5. 5Serve with a dollop of Greek yogurt, a squeeze of lemon, or alongside sliced avocado and greens.
Tip

These reheat well and freeze beautifully — make a double batch for grab-and-go mornings.
