Step-by-Step Instruction
1. Prepare the Salmon Mixture
Begin with draining the canned salmon; Transfer salmon to a large bowl. Remove any large bones from the salmon (you can leave small ones as they’re nice and soft + full of calcium).
Flake the salmon with a fork. This is so the patties keep their form while they cook.
- Mix in the Other Ingredients
Add the eggs, almond flour (and paprika if using), mayonnaise, Dijon mustard and lemon juice to the salmon. Add in garlic powder / onion powder for more flavor! Combine everything and mix well. It will form patties, so that should be ok.
If the mix is too wet, you might want to add a little more almond flour so that it holds together.
- Shape the Patties
Make small patties of the salmon mixture with your hand or a spoon. You want a patty about 2-3 inches in diameter. Makes between 6-8 patties DPENDING ON SIZE.
- *Heat the Oil*
Add olive oil into the large skillet and heat on medial flame. You do not want the oil to be too hot that it is sending out fumes of smoke but at the same time it should be hot enough to fry the chicken properly so the heat should be moderate, let the oil heat up for 1-2 minutes.
- *Cook the Salmon Patties*
Upon realizing that the oil is hot enough, place the patties into the skillet. Flip them over and cook them for 3-4 minutes or more or till they look golden brown and crispy. When you are flipping the patties, do it gently since the patties can be quite soft.
The above method will help you make yummy and juicy patties for your kids darling if your skillet is small, you should cook the patties in different batches so that they won’t stick on the skillet.
- *Serve and Garnish*
Once you are done with the frying of the patties, put the patties on a plate that has some paper towels to blot the excess of fats.
. These should be consumed whilst they are still hot. If you want to add even more taste, or to intensify the aroma of the fish, place some chopped parsley or dill on top.
