🐟 Ingredients (Only 3!)
- 1 can of salmon (about 14–15 oz), drained
- 1 large egg
- 2–3 tablespoons almond flour (or crushed pork rinds for extra crunch and ultra-low carb)
That’s it. No breadcrumbs, no fillers, no unnecessary carbs.
🔪 Step-by-Step Method
1. Prepare the Salmon
Open your canned salmon and drain it well. If it contains bones or skin, you can remove them—but they are edible and rich in calcium if you choose to keep them.
Place the salmon in a mixing bowl and use a fork to break it apart into fine flakes. The more evenly shredded it is, the better your patties will hold together.
2. Add the Binder
Crack in the egg and mix it thoroughly with the salmon. The egg acts as the main binder that holds everything together while cooking.
Then add the almond flour (or pork rind crumbs). Start with 2 tablespoons and add more only if the mixture feels too wet. You want a texture that is moist but firm enough to shape.
3. Form the Patties
Use your hands or a spoon to divide the mixture into 3–5 equal portions, depending on your preferred size.
Shape each portion into a small patty, about ½ inch thick. Press gently so they hold together but don’t compact them too tightly—this helps keep the inside tender.
