Keto Low Carb Salmon Patties

Your New Weeknight Hero (Seriously Crispy!)

Who Says Comfort Food Can’t Be Keto?

Hey friends, Beau here from Feastical! Let’s talk about that magical overlap where “I need dinner now” meets “I want it to be wildly delicious and still fit my goals.” That sweet spot? These Keto Low Carb Salmon Patties.

We’re talking crispy, golden edges, a tender herb-flecked center, and bold, comforting flavor—all on the table in about 20 minutes. No soggy fish cakes. No sad diet food. Just a fast, protein-packed dinner that feels like a win.

Ingredients

2 (6-oz) cans salmon, drained and flaked
(Skin and bones are edible—keep them for extra calcium and nutrition)
2 large eggs
¼ cup almond flour
(Nut-free swap: sunflower seed flour or crushed pork rinds)
2 green onions, finely chopped
2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 clove garlic, minced or grated
½ tsp kosher salt, or to taste
Black pepper, to taste
2 tbsp avocado oil or olive oil, for frying

Instructions

1. Mix

In a medium bowl, combine salmon, eggs, almond flour, green onions, parsley, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper.
Mix gently until just combined—don’t overwork it.

2. Form & Chill

Divide mixture into 6–8 patties, about ¾-inch thick.
Place on a plate and refrigerate for 10–15 minutes to firm up (this step is key for structure!)

3. Sear

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Cook patties for 3–4 minutes per side, undisturbed, until deeply golden and crispy.

4. Rest & Serve

Transfer to a paper towel–lined plate and rest for 1 minute before serving.

Notes

Chill time = non-negotiable for patties that hold together
Cast iron gives the best crust
Be confident when flipping—hesitation causes breakage
If one falls apart? Congrats, you made salmon hash
