Ingredients
  

  • 2 cans (14.75 oz each) wild-caught salmon, drained well
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup almond flour
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup finely diced yellow onion
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or avocado oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter

Instructions
 

  • Drain the canned salmon thoroughly and press out excess moisture. Pick through for any large bones.
  • Combine salmon, eggs, almond flour, mayonnaise, onion, parsley, garlic powder, Old Bay, black pepper, salt, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice in a bowl. Mix with a fork until just combined.
  • Let the mixture rest for 5 minutes to allow the almond flour to absorb moisture.
  • Divide into 8 equal portions and shape into patties about 3/4 inch thick.
  • Heat olive oil and butter together in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmery.
  • Add patties without crowding the pan. Cook 4 to 5 minutes on the first side without moving them.
  • Flip carefully and cook another 3 to 4 minutes until golden brown and firm in the center.
  • Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate for one minute before serving. Serve with lemon wedges.

Notes

Drain your canned salmon very thoroughly before mixing — excess moisture is the main reason patties fall apart in the pan. Press it in a clean towel if needed.
