How to Make Salmon Patties

Salmon patties are really easy to make. You basically just need to combine all of the ingredients into one bowl, mix them together, form patties and cook them up for a total of 10 minutes. When considering salmon patties recipes, it doesn't get much simpler than this! If you want, you could even use this patties recipe to make baked salmon patties, but they won't be as crispy on the outside. Let's get started:

Remove the leaves of dill from the stems and chop them up pretty finely.

Dice the green onion. Next, take the seeds out of the jalapeño and mince half of it into tiny pieces.

Start adding all of the ingredients into a bowl. The salmon and crackers can go first.

Add the Paleo mayo.

Crack one egg into the mixture.

Add the sea salt and pepper.

Mix all of the ingredients, minus the oil.

Keep mixing until everything is well-combined.

Now you can mold the mixture into salmon patties. In a large pan over medium heat, warm the oil and fry patties until done (about five minutes on each side).

Serve on top of your favorite veggies. And enjoy this healthy Paleo salmon burger!
