It’s an easy recipe, perfect for breakfast, lunch, dinner or even snacks. You’re welcome!

First, to a blender add raw, wild-caught salmon and cut into chunks. Ensure that the bones have been removed. Of course, you can use canned salmon, but blended raw salmon turns into a sticky paste, which makes it much easier to bind together and form patties.

Then add bread crumbs into a blender, garlic, some smoked paprika, squeeze of a little bit of lemon juice, and a pinch of sea salt and black pepper. Slowly pulse blend until it creates a thick, sticky paste.

Put the contents into a bowl and toss in green onions and chopped jalapenos. Mix together using your hands and form about three large patties.

Once salmon patties are formed, place them into a refrigerator for about 20 minutes so they can become firm.

Toss a salmon patty in a nonstick skillet sprayed with coconut oil. Cook on medium heat. Cook on each side for about 3 to 4 minutes, until the outer coating is brown and the edges are crispy.

It’s just that easy! You have a delicious salmon pattie that you can enjoy for any meal. Serve them on a plate and serve with fresh salad or assemble a burger.

When life gives you patties, make a burger! Spread a wheat bun, add dijon mustard, goat cheese, lettuce, tomato slices, red onions, fresh lemon juice, a pinch of sea salt and pepper, and our beautiful salmon patty.

If you are taking burgers for lunch, do not pre-assemble the burger. Keep the ingredients separate so that the burger is not soggy and so that you can re-heat the salmon patty.
