Low-Carb 3-Ingredient Salmon Patties (Keto and Gluten-Free)
Where pantry simplicity meets satisfying nourishment: no breadcrumbs, no fillers, just flaky salmon, eggs, and Parmesan turning into golden, protein-rich…
Step-by-Step Instructions
- 1. Prep the salmon. Drain in a colander and press firmly with the back of a spoon to extract all moisture. Transfer to a bowl and flake gently with a fork. Dry salmon means crisp patties.
- 2. Bind with care. Add the eggs and Parmesan and stir until fully combined and thick. If the mixture feels wet, let it rest 5 minutes so the Parmesan can absorb the excess.
- 3. Shape gently. Scoop quarter-cup portions and form rounds about 2 to 2.5 inches wide and half an inch thick. Handle lightly and do not compact them.
- 4. Fry to golden. Heat the oil over medium until it shimmers. Cook the patties in a single layer, working in batches, for 3 to 4 minutes per side until deeply golden. Flip only once, when the edges release naturally.
- 5. Rest and serve. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate and rest 2 minutes so the crust firms while the inside stays tender. Serve warm.
