Awesome Low Carb Salmon Patties

ChefSheri's Note:

These are so delish that you don't even know they are LC.

• Total Time: 25 mins
• Prep Time: 15 mins
• Cook Time: 10 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 2

• 14 ¾ ounces salmon , drained
• ½ cup pork rind (finely ground)
• ¼ cup minced onion
• 2 teaspoons lemon juice
• 2 teaspoons parsley flakes
• 1 minced garlic clove
• 2 large beaten eggs
• 3 tablespoons mayonnaise

Directions:

1. Mix all ingredients and refrigerate for 1/2 hour -(optional, but they handle easier).
2. Make into 4 patties and cook until browned on either side turning once.
3. I make a double batch and freeze part of it in flattened patties in zipper bags, and just thaw in the microwave, then fry.
4. Also good as a sauce on them: mix 1 part blue cheese dressing to 1 part horsy mustard, or Jack Daniels mustard, or some kind of flavored mustard -- it is yummy!

Now in regular rotation for my family, these are delicious and just as good as those made with bread crumbs. I've made them exactly as written, but the recipe easily accepts variations. I've made them with a variety of herbs in lieu of the parsley (such as dill or basil), dried onions and garlic powder when I don't have fresh, and barbecue pork rinds in place of plain. I also increase the lemon juice and add a couple tablespoons of ground flax. We like them with a simple onion-dill sauce made with sour cream.

So happy to find this recipe! I could have ate more, but since I am eating low-carb to lose weight, I knew that was wrong. Thanks for this tasty recipe...even my son liked them and he hates that mom is dieting....haha!

Oh, I only used one egg. I thought it was moist enough and they turned out fine. I spread them out after I put a large spoonful in the pan. Worked for me!

I don't know why I haven't tried this before - these were good! I used 2 cans of salmon and left out the parsley (I was out). I went ahead and formed them without refrigerating them. They were a little hard to turn, but otherwise came out very well. Thanks for the posting!
