Ingredients

  • ¼ cup - oil
  • 15 ounces - canned wild salmon
  • 2 tablespoons - mayo
  • 2 tablespoons - almond flour
  • 1 - egg
  • 1 tbsp - fresh lemon juice
  • ½ tbsp - lemon zest
  • 1 tbsp - fresh dill
  • 1 tbsp - dijon mustard
  • ⅛ tsp - black pepper
  • ½ cup - mayo
  • 1 tbsp - dill
  • 1 tbsp - fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp - lemon zest
  • a pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Combine the salmon, mayo, almond flour, eggs, lemon juice, zest, dill, dijon and pepper to taste in a large bowl with a fork. Divide the salmon mixture into (4) cakes about 1/2" thick.
  2. Heat the oil over medium high heat in a large cast iron skillet or sauté pan. There should be enough oil to coat the bottom of the pan.
  3. Add the salmon cakes to the hot pan. Cook 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown and crisp. Be sure there is a good crust on the bottom before flipping or the cake can fall apart. Cook on the other side and place on a platter and keep warm.
  4. Place all sauce ingredients into a small bowl and whisk well to combine. Taste and adjust the seasoning as necessary.
  5. Serve the salmon cakes topped with the lemon dill sauce and serve with your favorite side. Enjoy!
