Here’s a simple low-carb 3-ingredient salmon patties recipe—fast, filling, and no breadcrumbs needed.
Low-Carb 3-Ingredient Salmon Patties
Ingredients
- 1 can (or about 300 g) salmon, drained
- 1 egg
- 2–3 tbsp almond flour (or finely crushed pork rinds if you prefer)
Instructions
1. Mix
- In a bowl, flake the salmon
- Add egg and almond flour
- Mix until it forms a thick, moldable mixture
2. Shape
- Form into small patties (press firmly so they hold together)
3. Cook
Pan-fry (best texture)
- Heat a little oil or butter in a pan
- Cook 3–4 minutes per side until golden and crisp
Air fryer option
- 190°C (375°F) for 8–10 minutes, flip halfway
Tips
- If mixture feels too wet → add a bit more almond flour
- If too dry → add a tiny splash of the salmon liquid or another small egg yolk
- Let patties rest 5 minutes before cooking so they firm up
Serving ideas
- With garlic mayo or yogurt dip
- On a salad for a low-carb meal
- In lettuce wraps instead of buns
If you want, I can upgrade this into a crispy “fish cake” version, a spicy chili garlic version, or a high-protein meal prep batch recipe.
