Step 5: Cook the patties
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and add a small amount of oil (olive oil, avocado oil, or butter all work well).
Place the patties in the pan and cook for:
- 3–4 minutes on the first side
- Flip carefully and cook another 3–4 minutes on the second side
You’re looking for a golden-brown crust on both sides.
Step 6: Let them rest briefly
Once cooked, transfer the patties to a plate and let them rest for 1–2 minutes. This helps them firm up slightly and improves texture.
Serving Ideas
These salmon patties are very versatile. You can enjoy them:
- With a fresh green salad
- Inside a lettuce wrap (for extra low-carb meals)
- With a squeeze of lemon juice
- Alongside avocado slices
- With a yogurt or garlic sauce dip
Tips for Best Results
- Don’t skip draining the salmon well — excess moisture can make patties fall apart.
- If the mixture is too soft, almond flour is your best fix.
- Cook on medium heat only; high heat can burn the outside before the inside firms up.
- For extra crispiness, let patties rest in the fridge for 10 minutes before frying.
