Salmon Patties Recipe: Paleo and Gluten-Free

Have around 20 minutes to spare? That’s all it will take to make this delicious and nutrition-rich salmon patty recipe. My version is a healthier take on fried salmon patties using avocado oil rather than a highly-processed vegetable oil such as canola oil. This recipe for salmon patties is also completely gluten-free!

A salmon patty, also called a salmon burger, is basically a seafood version of the conventional hamburger. How to make salmon patties is truly so easy that even the most novice of cooks shouldn’t be afraid to try this recipe. This salmon patties recipe is the perfect protein-rich star of any meal and pairs so well with an array of tasty veggie-centric sides. I’ll give you a bonus tip — to get the most out of this recipe, opt for wild-caught salmon.

What Do You Serve With Salmon Patties?

This recipe includes ingredients like fresh dill and jalapeño pepper that really make these patties extra flavorful. Salmon patties can make an awesome snack on their own, but if you want to make a meal out of them, let’s talk about some healthy sides.

There are definitely a lot of delicious options to serve with salmon patties ranging from cooked veggies to salad to rice and more. Of course, I recommend including more veggies alongside your salmon to up the nutrient and antioxidant content of your meal.

Some of my favorite options to pair with these patties include:

• Super Salad Recipe
• Cauliflower Rice with Cilantro and Lime Recipe
• Lebanese Fattoush Salad Recipe
• Cauliflower Steak Recipe with Italian Seasoning
• Brown Rice Salad Recipe

Are you wondering about the best sauce for salmon patties? It’s totally up to you, but I highly recommend my homemade tartar sauce recipe or tzatziki sauce.

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!
