Here’s a simple low-carb salmon patties recipe—crispy on the outside, tender inside, and perfect for a healthy meal.
🐟🥗 Low-Carb Salmon Patties
🧾 Ingredients
- 1 can salmon (or 2 cups cooked flaked salmon)
- 1 large egg
- ¼ cup almond flour (or crushed pork rinds for extra low-carb)
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard (or regular mustard)
- 2 tbsp green onions (finely chopped)
- 1 tbsp parsley or dill (optional)
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp salt (adjust if salmon is salty)
- 1–2 tbsp oil or butter (for frying)
👩🍳 Instructions
1. Mix the mixture
In a bowl, combine:
- salmon
- egg
- almond flour
- mayonnaise
- mustard
- green onions
- herbs and spices
Mix until it holds together like a thick dough.
2. Form patties
- Shape into 4–6 small patties
- If mixture is too soft, add a little more almond flour
3. Cook the patties
Pan-fry method (best texture):
- Heat oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat
- Cook patties 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown
OR air fryer:
- 180°C (350°F) for 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway
4. Serve
- Serve warm with lemon wedges or low-carb sauce
🌟 Tips
- Chill patties for 10–15 minutes before cooking for better shape
- Don’t overmix or they’ll become dense
- Fresh dill or parsley makes them taste brighter
🍽️ Low-carb serving ideas
- With salad or steamed vegetables
- Wrapped in lettuce leaves
- With garlic yogurt sauce or sugar-free mayo dip
If you want, I can also make a Keto crispy salmon patty version, a spicy chili version, or a baked oven version with extra crunch.
