Makes dinner for two adults.
Approximate cooking time: 25 minutes
Ingredients
For Salmon Cakes:
- 1 lb salmon fillet (skinless, with bones removed)
- 2 eggs
- 1 jalapeno pepper, minced
- 2 Tbs coconut flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp white pepper
- coconut oil
For Mango and Cilantro Salsa:
- 1 large ripe mango
- 4 Tbs chopped cilantro
- 1/2 cup red onion, minced
- olive oil
- sea salt
Instructions
- Check salmon carefully to be sure all bones have been removed. Chop into a fine dice and set aside.
- Beat eggs in a large bowl. Mix in coconut flour, salt and pepper.
- Mince jalapeno and add to the egg mixture. Add the salmon and combine completely.
- Warm a skillet over medium-high heat, and add coconut oil when pan is hot.
- Test the pan to be sure it is hot by dropping a tiny portion of salmon mixture in the pan-- it should sizzle immediately.
- Add the salmon mixture to the coconut oil in small (3") cakes and fry until they are golden brown on the outside, and cooked pink on the inside (a minute or two on each side). Let the cakes rest on paper towels when taken out of the pan to absorb any extra coconut oil.
- Meanwhile, prepare salsa by combining diced mango, red onion and cilantro in a bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and add sea salt to taste. Serve on top of salmon cakes.

I have made these salmon cakes several times. DELISH!!! They’re even good cold as leftovers, right out of the fridge!! I am now “chunking” my salmon, doubling the batch, & making BIG cakes!! love it.

This needed a bit more zing for me so I added:
about 1/4 cup finely chopped red pepper
1 celery stalk finely chopped,
1 clove garlic finely chopped,
1/2 small onion finely chopped,
and about 1 tsp old bay type seasoning.
To account for the added veggies, I added another egg and another Tbs of coconut flour
Yummy!

the calorie content for this dish doesnt seem right. It says one serving is 729 calories. I looked at all the ingredients and it doesnt seem like it would add up to that much.

Made these tonight, they were a HUGE success! I put the mix into my food processor after it was all mixed together. I also added red onion and tomatoes to the mango salsa. It was to die for!!

I have made these salmon patties several times (at least once a month) and I love to use smoked salmon and then make a ghee with lemon and caper sauce for added elegance. So yummy!!
