Ingredients

  • 2 cans salmon
  • 2 free-range eggs
  • 1 cup bread crumbs (any bread works- homemade wheat, spelt or kamut, gluten free, sourdough, etc.)
  • 1/2 small onion
  • 2 cloves minced garlic OR 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
  • 2 Tbsp mustard (dijon or regular)
  • 1 Tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 Tbsp organic soy or tamari sauce
  • Sea salt and fresh ground pepper to taste

Directions

  1. 1

    Drain canned salmon, then dump into a medium sized bowl. Using the back of a fork, break salmon apart and crush bones. Mix in eggs, then bread crumbs, and lastly, all of the seasonings.

  2. 2

    Preheat a cast-iron pan to medium heat, and add a few pats of butter and some extra virgin olive oil (you can do just one or the other, or even use coconut oil instead, but the mix gives such a great flavor).

  3. 3

    You'll have to use your hands to shape these patties as you go to make them. I just put a big dollop in my hands, shape it best as I can, and flatten slightly once in the pan if needed. I don't bother to pre-shape them, but just do it as I go.

  4. 4

    Once cooked halfway through and nicely browned (2-3 minutes), flip over and allow to cook all the way (another couple minutes).
