Traditional Salmon Patties

Growing up, I always loved the salmon patties my grandma and my mom made. It was one of those dinners that every one looked forward too and there were never any left overs. It dawned on me that I should try to make my own salmon patties with legal SCD ingredients. They turned out really good! Not the exact same as to what I was used to them tasting like but it was definitely delicious enough to make again. My brother and husband really liked them too :)

Salmon Patties

2 cans of skinless, boneless salmon.  No added ingredients. I buy Chicken of the Sea Pink Salmon. 

1 head of cauliflower

2 eggs

1/4 onion, diced

fresh lemon juice

EVOO

 

Cut the cauliflower into florets and then put in your food processer using the rice technique. This is done by using the grader option and you feed the florets through the top.

After grading the rice, squeeze as much water out of it as you can using a kitchen towel. If you have time, let the rice sit out for a half our or so to help it release the water.

Pour prepared rice into a bowl.

Drain liquid out of the cans of salmon, and then use a fork to add the salmon into the bowl of rice.

Add your diced onions as well and mix all ingredients together.

Then add your eggs. Use your hands to thoroughly mix.

 

Pour some EVOO into a frying pan and set to med-high heat.

When the pan is hot, use your hands to form flat patties and then place them into the oil. Cook about 4 min each side. The patty should be browned on both sides when finished. If the mixture seems too dry or is falling apart when trying to make the patties, try adding another egg.

Be careful as you flip the patties. Because the consistency is different than using real rice, it tends to be more fragile. Its okay if small pieces break off, you can still eat it ;)

 

Place finished patties onto a plate lined with toilet paper. Helps absorb some of the extra oil. This is a great time to start squeezing some fresh lemon juice onto each patty! This is my favorite part of the dish!

 

I served my patties with some fried zucchini with minced garlic and served some canned Pork and Beans for my husband and brother. Pork and beans are definitely tradition when making salmon patties. Don't worry, I didn't eat any of the beans. haha

 

I hope you like them!
