Simple & Fast Salmon Patties (GAPS, SCD, Keto, Gluten Free)

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe
Salmon patties - grain free
This meal is fast- a whole foods equivalent of boxed macaroni and cheese.  One bowl to mix, a pan to fry, and you’re ready to eat!  This is one of my favorite fast meals, and my son Sam absolutely LOVED it as a toddler, since his name (‘SAMon’ haha) was in it. The kids still get a kick out of this story.

Rich in omega 3s, and as fast to make as boxed mac n cheese, this nutrient dense meal is a staple in our house and I bet will be soon in your house as well!

Ingredients

  • Three 5-ounce cans of wild caught salmon find here
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup shredded coconut optional, omit one egg if not using; can also use almond meal or even almond flour (find here)
  • 2-3 tablespoons ghee or coconut oil for frying

Instructions

  1. Open and drain salmon by pressing cut lid on top of the salmon firmly while turning upside down over the sink.
  2. Place salmon, eggs, and shredded coconut in a bowl and mix with a fork until egg is throughly distributed. This does not need to be a puree, but should be uniform.
  3. Allow salmon mixture to rest (this helps the coconut to hold the mixture together) while you heat a large skillet or griddle (flat side) over medium heat.
  4. Once skillet is pre-heated, add 1 tablespoon of fat and allow to melt. As the fat melts, form small patties out of the salmon, ‘slider’ size, or mini-burger size.
  5. Once the edges start to look firm, and the top of the uncooked patty is also starting to loose its shine a little bit, - about 5 minutes of cooking- use a thin metal spatula to carefully flip. The side that is cooked should be starting to brown.
  6. Cook for another 3 minutes on the other side and then serve.

    Hi Cara,

    I just have to say that I love your blog. The way you raise your children to eat and appreciate wholesome real food is inspirational and I hope to be able to do the same!

    I'm on the GAPS diet and understand that you went on it for a while..? My question to you is- did you at any point (on or off the diet) experience a negative reaction to a good food? ie. a 'healing crisis'?

    Right now I am experiencing very 'tired eyes' from chicken! So strange. 3 months ago it gave me HORRIBLE G.I upset and fatigue.. now 'tired eyes'. So strange!

    Natalia :)

    Thanks Natalia!

    My daughter is still on GAPS, so I can tell you about my experience with her. I didn't stay on it long enough to have much of a healing crisis- but it did clear my milk allergy, which was really cool!

    My daughter, she does go in phases of die off, they talk about that on the GAPS list. With chicken, I wonder if it could have been a reaction to an additive in it? Because it's usually something like yogurt, fermented foods, coconut oil that causes a healing crisis. But then I think the body just does 'waves' of healing too, so that could be. Or it totally could have been the chicken, I don't know! :)

    Helpful, aren't I? :oP

    I like the coconut idea! I make salmon patties often but have never thought to use shredded coconut. How easy! We don't do GAPS but I'll try this idea for fun.

    (If you shop at Trader Joe's or Whole Foods they have the wild caught Alaska salmon $2.69 for 14oz)

    Have you ever tried making this recipe with any other type of fish? The reason I ask is because I have some home canned tuna and wonder if it would be just as good? Thanks for all your great ideas!!

        The recipe specifies “Two 10-ounce cans of wild caught salmon.” Which is correct — 10 oz. or 6 oz.?

    I am thrilled you can use coconut in these – does it affect the taste a lot??? I think we will have these for lunch!

      You could try using bananas. I’ve used bananas in turkey sausage to thicken it up, so they won’t shrink so much once cooked. And it didn’t really affect the taste at all.

      Also experiment with additives like spinach, white onion, mushrooms. (I’ve diced up jalapeños really fine to add some heat, really delicious….for grown ups mostly though. Lol) I bake salmon patties @ 350 until golden brown on non stick foil. (I bake instead of fry so i can Freeze the rest so they’re not greasy when I put them in the toaster oven later)

    i will have to try these with coconut or coconut flour. thanks! i would like to add that they are good with chopped green onions and/or garlic and lemon juice and dijon mustard mixed in the patties before they are formed. i am just a little familiar with gaps/scd, so i don’t know if these added things are allowed.

    Love the idea of shredded coconut or coconut flour, as I’m now going “Paleo” and love using coconut ingredients in everything, as well as coconut oil for cooking. . My cousin made “Salmon Croquettes” for her family when I was just a child and I’ve made them myself for many, many years using oatmeal as the filler instead of the traditional bread crumbs that she used. Cannot wait to make the croquettes a new way now! Thank you so much for your wonderful recipes.

    My husband and I made these this evening (with two 6 oz. cans of wild Alaskan salmon). Thanks for sharing the recipe!

    They came out a bit dry, but otherwise were very good. We did use less oil in the pan. Is the amount of oil used important to the result, or is it just to keep them from sticking to the pan?
