Growing up, my dad always made delicious salmon cakes for a simple dinner or lunch. After playing around in the kitchen, I've finally found an easy, nutritious, and very delicious version. This one's a keeper!
Ingredients:
- 15 oz cooked salmon
- 1/2 cup onion, diced
- 2 cloves of garlic, diced
- 1 carrot, finely grated
- 2 Tablespoons of parsley, diced
- 1 Tbs ground flax seed or psyllium husk powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 2-3 Tablespoons of melted coconut oil or ghee
- Sliced lemon on the side when serving
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350 and place parchment paper on a cookie sheet
- Mix the salmon, onion, garlic, carrot, parsley, flax meal, salt, and pepper in a bowl. If the mixture isn't sticking together, add some mashed avocado, it will hold it together.
- Use a measuring cup or large spoon to scoop out about 1/4 of a cup of salmon cake mixture.
- Place onto the cookie sheet, then push down and form the pattie. Keep them at least 1/4 of an inch apart.
- Drizzle the coconut oil on top of the salmon cakes and bake for 20 minutes, then turn the broiler on for about 5 minutes to brown the top sides.
- Serve with lemon slices and avocado wedges.
