- 1 can wild-caught Alaskan salmon or about a pound of fresh salmon
- 1-2 eggs
- 2 T chopped onion
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 T coconut flour
- 1 tsp dried dill
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- salt to taste
Instructions
- If using fresh salmon, poach it first in a little water. On the stove top, add the salmon to a pan with some water; simmer on medium low heat until the salmon has cooked through and you can flake it with a fork. Cool to lukewarm before adding the egg.
- Heat cooking fat in a skillet until very hot.
- Add the salmon (drained, canned salmon or poached salmon, skin included) to a small bowl for mixing. add an egg, onion, garlic, dill, and pepper. Salt to taste. If using canned salmon, you may not need any salt, so taste it first!
- Form the salmon into 2-inch patties. They will hold together best if they are not too large! Squeeze them a bit if needed to get them to hold together.
- Add the patties to the very hot skillet. Cook a few minutes, until the side on the pan is starting to turn golden. Turn gently and repeat the process for the other side. Remove to a plate and serve.
