Baked Salmon Patties
Description
Baked Salmon Patties begin by roasting fresh salmon seasoned simply with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then cooling before flaking. The fish is mixed with finely diced red onion, garlic, almond flour, beaten eggs, mayonnaise, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, fresh parsley, dill, and lemon zest. This combination binds and flavors the patties, producing a balanced mix of moisture, acidity, and herbaceous notes.
The patties can be baked at 375°F or pan-fried to achieve a golden crust and tender interior. Serving with a homemade tartar sauce made from mayonnaise, yogurt or sour cream, fresh dill, lemon juice, salt, and pepper adds a creamy and tangy accompaniment. Together, the flavors shine without overpowering the salmon.
These patties suit lunch or dinner and can be served alongside salads or grain bowls for a complete meal.
Almond flour can be substituted with a combination of bread crumbs and all-purpose flour if preferred. Cooked patties store well refrigerated for several days or freeze individually wrapped for longer storage. Reheating in a skillet restores the crust and texture.
Ingredients
- 1 pound salmon fresh
- 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil (or avocado oil), plus more if frying
- salt
- black pepper
- 1/2 medium red onion finely diced
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1/4 cup almond flour (see note about substitute below)
- 2 large egg beaten
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce or tamari or coconut aminos
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1/4 cup parsley finely chopped, fresh
- 1 tablespoon dill finely chopped, fresh
- lemon zest of one
- Avocado oil spray or olive oil spray
Tartar Sauce
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup yogurt or sour cream, plain, Greek
- 2 tablespoons dill finely chopped, fresh
- 1/2 lemon juiced
- salt
- black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Drizzle the salmon with two teaspoons of olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 10 to 12 minutes, or until cooked through.
- Remove the salmon from the oven and allow to cool in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.
- Flake the salmon into a large bowl. Add onion, garlic, almond flour, eggs, mayo, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, parsley, dill and lemon zest. Combine with your hands and mix well.
- Form the salmon into small patties with your hands.
- To bake, preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray a baking sheet with oil and place the patties on the sheet. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes on each side.
- To pan fry, heat a few tablespoons of olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. The oil should coat the pan in a thin layer. Once the pan is hot, add salmon patties and allow to cook for 4 minutes, until a deep golden color. Flip and cook for another 3 minutes. Remove the salmon patties from the pan and repeat with a second batch, adding more oil, if needed.
Tartar Sauce
- Whisk together the ingredients for the tartar sauce in a medium bowl. Adjust the seasonings, if desired.
- Serve the patties with the tartar sauce.
Notes
- Almond flour can be replaced with 3 tablespoons bread crumbs plus 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour.
- Store cooked salmon patties in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
- Freeze individually wrapped patties in a freezer bag for up to 3-4 months; thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
- Reheat patties in a skillet with oil to restore crisp exterior and warm interior.
