• 2 large eggs, lightly beaten 🥚🥚
• ½ cup chopped onion 🧅
• ⅔ cup almond flour 🌰

• 2 cloves garlic, chopped 🧄🧄
• 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice 🍋🍋
• ⅛ teaspoon sea salt 🧂
• ⅛ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper 🌶️
• Neutral oil for pan-frying 🛢️

For the Lemon-Garlic Sauce:

• ¼ cup mayonnaise 🥄
• ½ cup plain Greek yogurt 🥛
• 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice 🍋
• 1 clove garlic, chopped 🧄
• 1 tablespoon freshly chopped parsley, plus more for garnish 🌿

Instructions

For the Lemon-Garlic Sauce:

1. In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, chopped garlic, and freshly chopped parsley. Stir well until all the ingredients are fully incorporated.
2. Set the sauce aside or refrigerate until you’re ready to serve. For an extra touch of flavor, garnish with fresh parsley, Old Bay seasoning, and/or freshly cracked black pepper before serving. 🌿🧂🌶️

For the Salmon Patties:

1. Prepare the Salmon: If you’re using fresh salmon, make sure it’s cooked and flaked into a medium bowl, measuring about 4 cups loosely packed (16 ounces). If you’re using canned salmon, drain it well and add it to the bowl (approximately 14.75 ounces). 🐟
2. Mix the Ingredients: Add the lightly beaten eggs, chopped onion, almond flour, freshly chopped parsley, chopped garlic, sea salt, and freshly cracked black pepper to the bowl with the flaked salmon. Gently stir all the ingredients together until they’re well combined. 🥚🧅🌰🌿🧄🧂🌶️
3. Form the Patties: Using a disher or a ¼ cup measuring cup, scoop out 2-ounce portions of the salmon mixture. Form each portion into a patty shape with your hands and place them on a parchment-lined surface. Continue this process until all the mixture is shaped into patties. 👐
4. Pan-Fry the Patties: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a neutral oil to the pan, swirling it to coat the bottom. Once the oil is hot and shimmering, carefully place the salmon patties in the skillet. Be sure not to overcrowd the pan, working in batches if necessary. 🔥
5. Cook Until Golden: Cook the salmon patties for about 5 to 6 minutes on one side or until they’re golden brown. Flip and cook the other side for another 5 minutes or until they’re fully cooked through. Once done, transfer the patties to a plate and repeat the process with the remaining patties. 🍳
6. Serve: Garnish the cooked salmon patties with additional fresh parsley, lemon wedges, and a generous drizzle of the lemon-garlic sauce. Serve immediately and enjoy this delightful dish with your favorite sides! 🌿🍋🍽️
