Whether you’re keto or carb-cycling, this Low Carb Salmon Patties Recipe is sure to become one of your favorite weeknight meals! Seriously y’all, these salmon patties may be low in carbs, but they are packed with flavor! And without any breading, they are naturally gluten free too!
My hubby couldn’t stop raving about them the first time I made these salmon patties, so I knew I had to share them with all of you!
There are a couple of different ways you can go about making these salmon patties. One, you can use canned salmon. Just make sure you drain the liquid and check that there are no bones. Two, you can cook fresh salmon fillets, remove the skin, and then shred them with a fork. If you choose to cook fresh salmon fillets, make sure you follow the package instructions, or cook them in the air fryer at 370°F for 18 minutes.
This recipe makes 3 servings, but it can easily be doubled or tripled to feed your whole family. It’s one of my go-to lunches for healthy fats because it’s such an easy recipe to make.
