Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (15 oz) can wild salmon, drained and flaked
- ½ cup almond meal (or breadcrumbs)
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup chopped onion
- 1 cup chopped spinach
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons hummus (original or roasted red pepper)
- ¼ cup crumbled feta cheese
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons capers (optional)
- Extra virgin olive oil, for cooking
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the salmon, almond meal, eggs, onion, spinach, garlic, lemon juice, hummus, feta, salt, and capers.
- Stir well until the mixture is thoroughly combined and holds together.
- Cover and refrigerate the mixture for 30 minutes to help it firm up.
- Once chilled, shape the mixture into 4 even patties.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat with a drizzle of olive oil.
- Cook patties for 5–7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve warm, on their own or with a side salad, in a pita, or over grains.
Notes
- You can substitute breadcrumbs for almond meal if not gluten-free.
- Refrigerating the mixture helps prevent the patties from falling apart during cooking.
- Great for freezing and reheating.
