Crisp and golden, these Keto Salmon Patties are delicious as a snack or part of an easy dinner!
Salmon has always seemed like an upgrade to me. Not to knock tuna, but once you’ve fallen in love with salmon and its versatile goodness, you’ll see what I mean. Salmon is easy and quick to make, tasty, and healthy—what’s not to love?
These crisp, golden patties are a great way to use leftover salmon. Though in all honesty, I’m not sure if I know what that is!
You’re going to love the hearty texture and flavor of these puck-sized delights. They’re suitable for keto diets, but since they use almond rather than wheat or white flour, they’re also gluten-free. I really love their tender crumb and melt-in-the-mouth texture. Who knew a simple patty could be so delectably tempting!
are Keto Salmon Patties Healthy?
Keto salmon patties are made from canned salmon, which is a good source of calcium, protein, and omega-3 fatty acids. Paired with fresh greens, they’re definitely part of a healthy meal.
Keeping it keto
Keeping a menu keto-friendly is relatively simple. A ketogenic (keto) diet is low-carb and high-fat. Therefore, foods for a keto diet include seafood, meat, poultry, and dairy products. Non-starchy vegetables are also keto, including broccoli, lettuce, bell peppers of every color, and zucchini. Avocados, raspberries, nuts, and seeds are also keto. Keep this in mind when planning your keto meals.
How to Make Ahead and Store
These salmon patties are versatile in their preparation and storing options. They can be mixed, formed into patties, then stored in the fridge for 3-5 days before cooking.
After cooking, while they’re best eaten straight away, leftovers can be stored for up to 3 days in the fridge before reheating in a hot skillet (preferably covered). Leftovers are fine to eat cold, too. Cooked patties can also be cooled and then frozen in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight before cooking.
Serving Suggestions
These salmon patties can be eaten with a fork, or wrapped in a large lettuce leaf to keep it keto. They can also be placed on a toasted bun (for a non-keto option) with all the condiments desired. Personally, I like them wrapped in crispy lettuce, with a slice of juicy beefsteak tomatoes, and a dollop of creamy mayonnaise. Yum! Some options to serve with these keto salmon patties are Easy Keto BBQ Sauce for dipping, Fried Cabbage or Keto Broccoli Salad as a side, and Keto Lemon Bars for dessert!
