I don’t even like salmon. That is unless it’s raw and melty delicious. Seriously, salmon sashimi is the food of the gods. But I digress. I don’t like cooked salmon. But I love crab cakes. A lot. And you know what? These salmon cakes are great, even for a cooked-salmon-hater like myself. And they’re even better dipped in some Jalapeno-Lime Mayo and some of The Best Guacamole. Do it.
Salmon Cakes
Yield:
4
Prep Time:
5 minutes
Cook Time:
15 minutes
Total Time:
20 minutes
Ingredients
- 8 oz Salmon Filet, baked and cooled
- 1/2 cup Almond Flour
- 1 Tbsp small Onion, or 1 Dried Minced Onion, minced
- 1 clove of Garlic, minced
- 2 Eggs
- 1/4 cup Sweet Potatoes, shredded
- Fresh Ground Black Pepper, to taste
- Coconut Oil, to fry
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, flake the salmon with a fork. Mix in the eggs, garlic, almond flour, sweet potatoes, onion, garlic, and pepper.
- Heat oil in a medium skillet over medium-low heat (I set my flame to 4). Scoop mixture into 3 inch patties, about 1/2 inch thick. In batches (whatever fits in your skillet), cook patties about 3-5 minutes on each side, until lightly browned. Watch carefully to make sure they don't burn. My first batch was a little crispy.

Oh, I like the addition of sweet potato! We’ll be trying these this week.
Is the shredded sweet potato supposed to be cooked or raw?
Uncooked. They will cook and soften as you fry the cakes.
Thank you for your prompt reply.
Can you used canned salmon for this?
Is that 8-10 oz salmon?
I’m confused by this as well. Please clarify. Thanks!
Sorry, not sure how the numbers got flipped. Yes, it is (1) 8-10 oz salmon filet.
Hi kendra- I would like to echo Jessica’s question above and ask if canned salmon can be used for this. I’m sure it can but I wonder if you think it would turn out as tasty…thanks!
I have tried it with canned salmon and it worked fine, though I do prefer fresh, wild-caught salmon.
