PIN Low Carb Whole30 Paleo Salmon Cakes

THE FIRST AIR FRYER RECIPE.

I literally have been so pumped to share these little crispy coconut cakes of salmon BLISS with you for, liiike, EVER.

Partially because they are so fancy and ON TREND, just like the crispy air fried fish, with the “being cooked in the air fryer situation” at hand. But also ‘cause they are packin’ some MAJOR delicious spicy-sweet flavor and seriously juicy yumminess.

With a MEGA DOSE of heart-and-brain-healthy fats to nourish you from the INSIDE OUT.

These little low carb whole30 paleo salmon cakes of LOVE are doing it ALL.

Internet BFF’s, these low carb whole30 paleo salmon cakes are NOT the keto salmon patties that you’ve experienced growing up. You know the ones that are made from questionable, canned salmon, that someone-you-love-but-didn’t-love-as-much-after-they-made-you-eat-them made for you?

Yea. NOT LIKE THOSE.

These little circles of crisp-coconut-curry lovin’ are made from ALDI FRESH Atlantic Salmon!

If you did not know, ALDI provides high-quality seafood (I know, I grew up on the west coast!) for SUPER affordable prices. They also work with the Sustainable Fisheries Partnership and Global Aquaculture Alliance to ensure that they are sourcing sustainable seafood whenever they can.

Their fish, and shellfish are comin’ from responsibly-managed fisheries! <– Seafood that you can FEEL good about and is GOOD for you.

But, really, you can feel good about ALL their ingredients.  Spoiler alert: even their baking ingredients ROCK. You can make some DELISH coconut protein cookies!

Now, if you live on the face of Earth which, since you’re reading this, I assume that you do, you’re pretty “in the know” that the Air Fryer is the newest Instant Pot. It’s super sleek and cool and everyone is using it to make crispy-crunchy-fried goodness but – GASP – without the deep frying.

You know I always have your back, so I decided to get one for myself to see if this contraption IS really as “buzz worthy” as the internet world makes it out to be.

YOU. GUYS.

SO impressed with how this works.

It makes the outside of whatever you’re cooking (I also tried it with paleo orange chicken!) SO crispy and crunchy – maybe even MORE than deep frying?! AND, the inside? All of the juicy-yummy-flavor is still PERFECTLY packed inside. I bet it would work for gluten-free crab cakes too!

Like in these low carb salmon patties. Whiiiich, I am suggesting (read: demanding) that you make FIRST when your inner-super-cool-person comes out and decides to jump on the Air Fryer bandwagon. <–And once you’ve tried them, check out these 20 gluten free healthy air fryer recipes!

But, don’t worry, I also tried it out in the oven for those of you who don’t have one yet. Notes on that in the recipe!

Plus, these paleo salmon patties would make a MEAN alternative to meat if you’re looking for some options for Lent. Just sayin’.

The whole “coconut curry” combo in this keto salmon cakes is PROBABLY a ZERO % shock to you. We’ve had vegan coconut curry with sweet potato noodles AND coconut slow cooker curry.

It was only a matter of time until the coconut curry craving creeped in on my Atlantic salmon addiction.

Fresh (<3 <3 <3) Atlantic salmon gets diced and mixed with spicy notes of curry, that warm up the back of your throat with each munch, wrapping your taste buds with a flavorful, herb-y POW of cilantro and that naturally-sweet, coconut CRUNCH.

Mix and mingle all of that together with an emerald-green PILE of peppery-arugula and tender spinach that is hugged with a delicate swirl of coconut oil, and you’ve got some SERIOUS salmon goodness going on inside your HUNGRY belly.

Canned salmon? No thank you.

Imma get a little fresh with you today.

Salmon, that is.
