Ingredients

  • 1 pound fresh salmon filet
  • ½ cup Super Fine Almond Flour
  • 2 tablespoons red bell pepper finely minced
  • 1 tablespoon scallions thinly sliced
  • 1 whole egg beaten
  • 2 tablespoons butter unsalted
  • Keto friendly oil of your choice for frying
  • 1 batch of Bang Bang Sauce see my recipe

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 425F. Place the salmon on a baking rack over a baking sheet and brush with the oil.  Add salt and pepper over the top and bake for 10-12 minutes or until cooked through. 
  2. Using a fork, flake the salmon apart and discard the skin.  Add the salmon to a large mixing bowl along with the red pepper, egg, almond flour, scallions and 2 tablespoons of Bang Bang Sauce. Toss until combined.
  3. Using a cookie scoop, form the cakes about 2-3" in diameter and place on a plate lined with parchment paper.  I was able to get 22 patties out of this batch.  Alternatively, you can make them larger using an ice cream scoop, and extend the cooking time a bit.
  4. Heat a large non-stick skillet to medium and add the oil and butter.  Fry the salmon cakes for 3-4 minutes on each side or until slightly golden. Allow to drain on paper towels before serving.  Serve with a drizzle of the bang bang sauce over the top and enjoy!
  5. Store leftovers in the fridge for 1-2 days or freeze.Note: You can make this with canned salmon, but I highly recommend using fresh, if you're able to.

Notes

  • You can make this with canned salmon, but I highly recommend using fresh, if you're able to.
