    Combine all ingredients in a medium mixing bowl.
    Step 1
  • Step 2

    Mix until well combined.
    Step 2

    Heat a medium nonstick skillet over high heat until hot. Add ½ of the avocado oil and heat for a few seconds until hot. Then using a 1 oz cookie scoop drop the salmon onto the skillet making sure the mounds are not touching. Turn the heat down to medium-high heat and cook for about 2 minutes on the first side until nicely golden brown.

  • Step 4

    Flip the cakes and gently press them with a spatula to slightly flatten them, then cook on the second side until nicely browned about 2 minutes. You may have to cook the cakes in two batches depending on the size of your skillet.

    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.

        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.

                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

                                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!

                                  Made these for breakfast and they were fantastic, quick and easy. I added some dill, chives and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to make the flavors a lil brighter and it was a perfect addition. A definite go to.

                                    I think I will add almond flour. Vert good

                                      OMG, soooo.... good, and I’ve never liked salmon. I made per recipe using pink salmon for the milder taste and adding a couple tbsp of finely chopped red bell pepper for color. Oh, and I cut out the salt because I can season to taste at the table and because canned foods have a lot of salt to begin with. I could’ve eaten the entire batch.

                                        Great idea, but very salty. Next time will omit the salt.

                                            Very good and good for you! I added some crushed pork rinds and hemp hearts to mine.

                                                Does psyllium husk impact your meter readings?
