4. Heat the Pan

Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of oil (olive oil, avocado oil, or butter all work well).

Let the pan heat for about 1–2 minutes before adding the patties. A properly heated pan ensures a crispy golden crust.

5. Cook the Patties

Carefully place the patties into the pan. Cook for about:

3–4 minutes on the first side
Flip gently and cook another 3–4 minutes

You’re looking for a deep golden-brown crust on both sides. Avoid flipping too early or they may break apart.

6. Drain & Serve

Once cooked, transfer the patties to a plate lined with paper towels to remove excess oil.

Serve immediately while warm and crispy.

💡 Tips for Perfect Salmon Patties

Don’t overmix: It can make the texture dense.
Adjust moisture carefully: If too wet, add a little more almond flour; if too dry, add a tiny splash of the salmon juice or another half egg.
Chill before cooking (optional): 10–15 minutes in the fridge helps them hold shape better.
Use medium heat: High heat can burn the outside before the inside sets.
