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

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.

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.

Thank you for your prompt reply.

Is the shredded sweet potato supposed to be cooked or raw?

Uncooked. They will cook and soften as you fry the cakes.
