Recipe Tips
- You can prepare these patties. ahead of time and keep them in the fridge. Run through the recipe until step five and then store into the refrigerator. I find that the patties often hold together better when they’re chilled for at least an hour.
- While these salmon cakes shouldn’t fall apart, it is still important not to fiddle with them as this may cause them to break apart and become an unappetizing mess.
- The patty mix is already cooked except for the egg, so we’re only frying to get a nice crispy outside and to heat them up.
- If you don’t mind the bones from tinned salmon, you can usually leave these in as they’re typically edible. I prefer to remove them as I don’t like the grittiness they add to the patties.
- You can swap the coconut oil for something else. Any good paleo-friendly cooking oil will work fine in this recipe.
- Almond flour is also known as almond meal or ground almonds.
