Instructions

  1. In a small dish, combine all the ingredients for the dipping sauce. Cover and set aside in the fridge until ready to serve.

Salmon cakes:

  1. In a bowl, combine eggs, shallot, garlic, lemon zest, mustard, cumin, paprika and salt. Whisk until well combined.
  2. Add ½ cup almond flour, corn starch and the cubed salmon pieces and stir until thick and everything is distributed evenly.
  3. Place the remaining almond flour in an even layer on a small plate.
  4. Heat about 2 tablespoons of oil in a large pan over medium heat.
  5. Scoop ¼ cup of salmon mixture and form into round patties, about ½ - ¾” thick. Coat each side of the patties in a thin layer of almond flour. Makes 4-6 patties.
  6. Cook the salmon patties in the oil, 3-4 at a time until golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  7. Remove the patties from the pan and drain on a paper towel. Cook the remaining salmon patties, adding more oil as needed.
  8. Serve warm with dipping sauce.

Notes

  • Storage: These are best served immediately, but you can store leftovers in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • Freezing Instructions: You can also freeze the individual patties before or after cooking. Thaw overnight in the fridge before cooking or reheat from frozen if already cooked in the oven at 400°F for 7-10 minutes. They will not be as crisp this way.
  • Substitutes: For best results, follow the recipe as is. However here are some common substitutes that would work well in this recipe.
  • * Please note the nutrition label does not include the cooking oil.
  • Instead of fresh salmon, you can make these with canned salmon.
  • Instead of almond flour, you can use all-purpose flour.
  • Instead of dijon mustard, you can use mayonnaise or just skip it.
