Quick paleo low-carb salmon patties are from the new Quick Keto Meals in 30 minutes or less cookbook written by Martina Slajerova, the founder of Keto Diet App. Enter below at the end of this post for my cookbook giveaway, you could win a copy of Martina’s amazing keto cookbook.

These low-carb salmon patties with a lime-avocado dressing were beyond incredible and are true to their word of being quick and easy. Our family meal was ready in only 20 minutes, including when I began reading the recipe, to sitting at the table enjoying our meal.

There are even options to make this with almond flour or coconut flour.

I love fresh salmon, but using tinned/canned salmon is great to keep in your pantry for a quick lunch and an economical alternative to expensive fresh salmon.

The smell of these salmon patties cooking is incredible. The spices and turmeric turn this quick dish into a phenomenal meal. I pressed a handful of the salmon patty mixture into a measuring cup then press firmly with the back of a spoon into little patty shapes.

Fry the low-carb salmon patties in oil of choice. Let them fry gently, and if they don’t lift off the frying pan easily, let them cook for a little longer so they are crispy on the base and can be flipped without breaking.

While the low-carb salmon patties are cooking, place a handful of leafy salad on your plate and mix the lime avocado dressing. All you do is throw all the dressing ingredients on a blender – and voila!

Low-Carb Salmon Patties

  • 500 g tinned/canned salmon drained
  • 2 eggs - medium
  • 50 g almond meal/flour see notes
  • 2 tbsp parsley chopped
  • 1 tbsp dill chopped
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 small onion diced
  • 1 clove garlic crushed
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp cumin

Instructions

Low-Carb Salmon Patties

  • Place all the salmon patty ingredients (except the ghee, lard or duck fat)  in a large mixing bowl and combine.
  • Scoop some of the salmon mixture into a 1/4 cup measuring cup. With the back of a spoon, press the mixture into the cup to pack it tightly. Turn the measuring cup over onto a plate. Repeat to make 12 patties.
  • Heat the oil in the frying pan and cook the salmon patties on a gentle heat. Cook on each side for 4-5 minutes and use a spatula to flip them. TOP 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.

Avocado and Lime Dip

  • Whilst the patties are cooking, prepare the avocado dip. Place all the ingredients in a blender. Process until smooth. Spoon into a serving dish.

To Serve

  • Place 3 low-carb salmon patties on a bed of salad with the avocado and lime dip on the side, or drizzled over the top.

    Sounds delicious-

    Will this work with canned tuna instead?

    This was delicious! The salmon patties were a hit with my family. They turned out as pictured. The avocado dip is a nice change from tarter sauce. I can see using it with shrimp and other fish recipes. Thanks for the recipe!

    I just made these during my lunch break (I had the ingredients, just threw them together). They were delicious and fried up beautifully in butter.
    I only had large eggs, so I used 2 and tossed in a bit of extra flour.
    Anyway- I’m a runner, so I eat a lot (like, all. the. time.). If I’m not eating, I’m thinking about food. I didn’t think that the 4 patties this would make would be enough for 4 servings but BOY was I wrong! These were perfect with a salad on the side, and I actually found myself not being able to eat the whole salad (of course I ate the whole patty)!
    I used about 1/2 the dill that the recipe called for, because I’m not really a fan of it. What I used went beautifully with the other ingredients. Next time I think I’ll try some red pepper flakes for a bit more spice…I really like spicy.

    I’ll definitely be hanging onto this recipe and I’ll be making it again!

    Is the lemon juice in the salmon patties vital to the recipe? I am allergic to all citrus fruits but I would love to try these. Is there something I can substitute (I usually sub apple cider vinegar when a recipe requires an acid) or can I just leave it out?
    Thanks!

    My son loves these! I made them according to the recipe the first time, the second time I realized I was out of parsley and lemons so I subbed in cilantro and limes. I don’t bother making the dip as he is happy to dip them in plain mustard or mayonaise. I even made a big batch and froze them uncooked between layers of parchement. It worked like a charm. He would just pop a few out of the freezer and put them in a pan and cover with a lid so they would thaw and cook all at once. Perfect lunch for my newly diagnosed T1D son.

      Rachel this makes me so happy. I love to hear children loving my recipes, especially T1D. You are ahead of the game so fast after diagnosis discovering low-carb. It takes some people years as it often is not offered as a choice. Are you part of TypeOneGrit? They are phenomenal.

    Love this Libby! I’ve had a tin of canned pink salmon in my cupboard for ages and no idea what to do with it. In fact I’ve got full cupboards with food I never seem to use. I hate to be wasteful so delighted with this recipe. And it’s so yummy! Well done Libby for helping me stay Keto/LCHF and not waste food/money. xx

      Yes absolutely. Freeze them in an airtight container then you can remove one or two at a time when required. I’m so glad you loved them. I also make them with tinned/canned tuna – yum.

    I’ve never made salmon patties before, and TBH it’s been so long since I had one, I didn’t have a reference for what it should taste like. Yet the whole family really liked these. Simple enough to make with typical things from the kitchen. Thank you so much.

    I don’t understand how to cook these, cook to low and they stay raw in the middle, cook too high and they burn to the pan and fall apart! what am I doing wrong?

    • Denise Wilson says

      March 15, 2018 at 8:53 am

      Once the patties are made I put them in the fridge for half an hour to an hour to firm up. Then cook on high in the pan to brown and finish for 15 minutes in a medium oven. This method works for me for all low carb pattie recipes as without potato as a binding ingredient they can fall apart in the pan if cooked on low for too long

    My favourite “go-to” quick keto meal: I stop at the grocery and pick up a prepared salad kit (Like “Fresh Express” brand’s organic Caesar — toss the croutons to the birds for really low-carb) and a pre-cooked rotisserie chicken.

    I used to love cooking, but since all the kerfuffle about nutrition has changed so drastically, I just want to get eating over with now. Prefer vegetarian, and am allergic to dairy and eggs, so it is taking some doing to wrap my head (and appetite) around low-carb eating. But an overweight vegan is still unhealthy, so I have to do this, like it or not.
