Instructions:
- Prepare the Salmon: In a large bowl, combine the flaked salmon, egg, almond flour, parsley, Parmesan cheese, garlic, lemon juice (if using), dill, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Form the Cakes: Shape the mixture into patties, about 2-3 inches in diameter and 1/2 inch thick. You should get about 6-8 cakes depending on size.
- Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
- Cook the Salmon Cakes: Once the oil is hot, add the salmon cakes to the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Be careful when flipping them to avoid breaking.
- Drain and Serve: Transfer the cooked salmon cakes to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
- Optional Garnish: Serve with a dollop of keto-friendly tartar sauce or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. A side of mixed greens or a simple cucumber salad can complement the dish well.
Enjoy your keto salmon cakes! They’re great for a quick lunch or dinner and can be easily customized with different herbs and spices.
