Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 (3.75-oz) cans salmon drained
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 2 tsp fresh lemon juice
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 Tbsp chives finely chopped
  • ½ tsp sea salt to taste
  • Pinch black pepper
  • ½ cup gluten-free all-purpose flour or 1 cup breadcrumbs

For Serving:

Instructions

  • Whisk the eggs in a large mixing bowl until well beaten. Add the rest of the ingredients for the salmon patties and mix everything until well combined.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat on the stove top with 2-3 tablespoons of avocado oil. Allow the skillet to heat up for a few minutes until it is sizzling hot.
  • Measure out ¼ cup of the salmon mixture and carefully place it on the hot skillet. The mixture will be very gooey - this is normal. It will hold together in the skillet easily if you used flour, or will require some delicate handling if you used bread crumbs.
  • Repeat for the rest of the salmon mixture, cooking 4 to 6 patties at a time in a single layer. Depending on the size of your skillet, you may need to cook the patties in two batches. Sear for 3-4 minutes, until the patties are deeply golden brown, then carefully flip to the other side and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the patties are fully cooked. Insert a digital thermometer into the center of the patties. They are ready when they have reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit or hotter.
  • Serve salmon patties with my Crab Cake Sauce, a drizzle of fresh lemon juice, homemade tarter sauce, or your choice of dipping sauce, and enjoy!
