Looking for a quick and easy hot meal you can make when you don’t have a lot of time? This salmon (or mackeral) Fish burger patty recipe gives you all the desirable omega-3 fats in one tasty puck.
I like to buy frozen salmon burger patties when I can find them on sale at a reasonable price, but this doesn’t happen all that often so this is my next best option. It does work with either salmon or mackeral, which is nice for adding more variety to your diet, or for convenience if you only happen to have one or the other on hand.
"Flippin' Fish Salmon (or Mackerel) Keto Burger Patties
Ingredients:
- 2 standard cans of salmon or 1 large can of mackerel, drained, flaked, with skin and bones removed (*save these in a bag and freeze them for making fish bone broth)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup almond flour
- 2/3 cup grated parmesan (*if dairy-free, leave out and replace with more almond flour)
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 6 green onions, minced
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed
- 1/2 teaspoon Himalayan pink sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 teaspoons avocado oil (1 teaspoon for each patty to cook)
Directions:
Place all the fish burger patty ingredients (except avocado oil) in a large mixing bowl and combine. Form into 4 patties.
Heat avocado oil on medium-low in a frying pan and cook the patties. Cook on each side for 6-7 minutes and flip with a spatula. *TIP: If a patty does not release when you try to flip it, cook a little longer until it is crispy and ready to flip.
Serve in a lettuce bun with sliced tomato and red onion or serve on a bed of spinach or arugula. Top with my recipe for creamy keto lemon garlic dill dressing, one of my creamy avocado sauce recipes, or whatever aioli or tartar sauce you prefer (*try mine though, it’s sooo good!).
