They can be stored in the freezer for up to three months. When ready to enjoy, simply thaw them overnight in the refrigerator and reheat in a skillet until heated through.
Can you make this recipe in the air fryer?
Absolutely! These salmon cakes can be easily adapted for the air fryer. After forming the patties, preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Lightly coat the salmon cakes with cooking spray or brush them with oil to promote crispiness. Cook the patties in the air fryer for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and cooked through.
Can you use canned salmon for this recipe?
Yes, canned salmon can be substituted for fresh salmon in this recipe with great results. Simply drain the canned salmon well and flake it with a fork, removing any large bones or skin. Adjust the seasoning to taste, as canned salmon may be slightly saltier than fresh. With the convenience of canned salmon, you can enjoy these flavorful salmon cakes any time of year, making them a versatile and budget-friendly option for your Keto meal prep.

35 min
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375F. Place salmon fillets on a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Pat the salmon lightly with a paper towel, then season with Kosher salt and black pepper. Dollop with 1 Tbsp butter, then bake until an internal temperature of 120F is reached, about 12-15 minutes, based on thickness.Step 2
While the salmon is cooking, heat olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook until translucent, about 2 minutes, stirring often. Set aside.Step 3
Allow salmon to cool for about 5 minutes, then flake with a fork, discarding the skin. You can also use your hands to simply pull it apart into small pieces.Step 4
In a large bowl, combine flaked salmon, sautéed onion, keto breadcrumbs, 1/4 cup Greek yogurt, egg, 1 tbsp parsley, mustard, and lemon zest. Mix lightly until well incorporated, trying not to break the salmon pieces down too much.Step 5
Use a large cookie scoop to equally divide the salmon mixture. For 400g salmon, you should get 5 patties. Use your hands to gently press down and form into uniform, round, flat cakes.Step 6
Preheat the remaining ½ Tablespoon olive oil and 1 Tbsp butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook 5 patties at a time, for 2-3 minutes per side, until light golden brown on both sides. Transfer to a plate, then repeat with the remaining salmon cakes.Step 7
To make the Greek yogurt sauce, combine ½ cup Greek yogurt, 1 tbsp parsley, vinegar, lemon juice, salt, and pepper together in a small bowl, then whisk to combine.Step 8
Serve immediately. Garnish with lemon wedges, fresh parsley, and Greek yogurt sauce.

Can you use ordinary packet breadcrumbs if you don’t have the Keto breadcrumbs !

It would no longer be keto. You can use pork rinds. Just pulse them in a food processor :)

I’ve made my own with keto bread crumbs. I first put slice(s) in the toaster to dry it out and then in a food processor. I add a little Italian seasoning and pulse again.
