Well I added two tablespoons of almond flour, teaspoon of onion and oregano, but also sprinkled magic salmon seasoning on them too; and these are great! Blew it on the avocado oil also but fried them in coconut oil

I like to add some chopped onion or shallot to the mixture and serve with dill relish and mayo

These are great and will work well during the week! I reduced the salt to 1/4 t. and crumbled 1 slice of keto bread into the mixture (as a binder), otherwise made as directed. Yum!

Crushed pork rinds are keto and make a great binder…holds together well.

I've made these twice now with minor modifications; I didn't add the spices beyond (Smoke n Sanity low fodmap) garlic salt + pepper, and didn't add nearly as much "garlic" salt as the recipe called for kosher salt. My canned salmon wasn't unsalted, and I think that's what messed up the reviewers who complained about saltiness... anyway, the first time they were good but a little too moist. Tonight I added a tablespoon of psyllium husk, and that helped them stay together with less effort in the pan and the texture is great. I'll definitely be making these often.

Right ,with the mayo and egg you need a binder. Pork rind crumbs would work

YUM! I used tuna instead of salmon, and coconut oil instead of avacado oil. I also used curry powder instead of mustard powder. Super delicious!!

Way, way, Way too salty!!!!! I’m thinking it must be a typo on the recipe. Who needs more salt with canned salmon? I followed the recipe before I tasted yuck! I didn’t realize canned salmon was already salty. This recipe is probably good as long as you don’t add the salt.
FantasticKetone175456 5 months ago
Could be the brand of salmon you used, also you have to drain it , use the brand that does not have bones or skin

Step 1 says to combine ALL ingredients in a mixing bowl, but I think it means all ingredients EXCEPT the oil. (Maybe I'm the only one who took step 1 literally? Haha)[

This is a great recipe! I added some chili and cayenne pepper and used coconut oil to fry in. They came out fabulous.

Where have these been my whole life, I love them. I only used the oil for frying and I will cut the salt to 1/2 tsp next time.

Serving sizes 1 and 1/2 but because there are zero carbs you could eat three or four no problem fat content is great and calories isn't that much

These were a hit in our home. They are on rotation.

Definitely a keeper, quick easy and tasty. It’s a bit too salty and I’ll add more herbs like the others had noted, but basically it is a really good recipe!
