Keto Salmon Patties
Juicy salmon patties made low carb with almond flour and served with a dairy free homemade tartar sauce recipe.
Ingredients
For the salmon patties:
- 2 pounds wild salmon skin removed & cubed*
- 2/3 cup avocado oil mayonnaise
- 1.5 teaspoons stone ground or dijon mustard
- 3/4 cup almond flour
- ½ cup almond milk
- Kosher salt & pepper
- Avocado oil
For the tartar sauce:
- 1/2 cup greek or plain dairy free yogurt
- ½ cup avocado oil mayonnaise
- 1/2 teaspoon prepared horseradish
- 2 tablespoons capers chopped
- Zest & juice of ½ a lemon
- 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
- 2-3 tablespoon fresh dill chopped
- Kosher salt & pepper
Instructions
-
To a food processor, add all of the salmon patty ingredients(not the oii) including ¾ teaspoon salt, and a few cracks of pepper. Blend to combine, but keep it just a tad chunky. Chill the salmon mixture in fridge for 30 minutes or up to 4 hours. Pre-heat large non-stick pan just below medium-high heat and wait for it to get hot. Grab enough salmon mixture to form a large golf ball, place in the pan, and press it into a patty using your fingers or a spatula. Add about 4 salmon patties to the pan and allow to cook for about 4 minutes, until deep golden in color. Flip and cook another 3 minutes. Remove salmon patties from pan and repeat with the second batch, adding a bit more oil if needed.
-
Meanwhile, make the tartar sauce by adding all the ingredients to a bowl, mix well, and check for seasoning. You want the flavors to be bright and tangy, so you may need more lemon juice.
-
Serve the salmon patties with the tartar sauce and garnish with dill. Enjoy!

Recipe Notes
Ask the fish monger at the store to remove the salmon skin and cut it into 1.5 inch chunks. If using farm raised salmon, make sure it is Norwegian salmon, and only use 1 egg and 1/3 cup of mayonnaise for the salmon patty recipe.
