Low-Carb 3-Ingredient Salmon Patties

These low-carb salmon patties are a quick, nutrient-dense meal or snack that comes together in under 15 minutes. By swapping traditional breadcrumbs for a low-carb binder, you get a crispy exterior and flaky, savory center without the extra carbs.

Ingredients

  1. Canned Salmon (1 can / about 6 oz / 170g, drained and flaked)
  2. Egg (1 large, beaten to bind the patties)
  3. Pork Rind Crumbs or Almond Flour (2 tablespoons finely crushed plain pork rinds or almond flour to keep it strictly low-carb/keto)
(Optional for flavor: A pinch of salt, black pepper, or old bay seasoning if you have them on hand).

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Mix the Base: In a mixing bowl, combine the drained canned salmon, the beaten egg, and your low-carb binder (pork rind crumbs or almond flour). Mix thoroughly until the mixture holds together when pressed.
  2. Form Patties: Divide the mixture into 2 or 3 equal portions and gently press them into small, flat patties with your hands.
  3. Pan-Sear: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with a small splash of oil or butter. Once hot, place the patties in the pan.
  4. Crisp and Cook: Cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side until golden brown and heated through. Flip carefully, as they are delicate.

Serving Suggestions

Enjoy them hot on their own, topped with a dollop of low-carb garlic mayo or tartar sauce, or serve them over a bed of fresh greens with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice!
