For the salmon cakes
- 1 lb fresh salmon
- sea salt and black pepper for seasoning
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil or olive oil
- 1 medium white onion diced
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 egg beaten
- 1/3 cup almond flour or tiger nut flour
For the paleo tartar sauce
- 1/2 cup paleo mayonnaise (like Primal Kitchen brand)
- 1 teaspoon fresh or dried dill
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon whole grain mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
Preheat oven to 400˚F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the salmon skin-side down. Season with salt and pepper. Bake uncovered for 15 to 18 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside to slightly cool.
While the salmon is baking, cook the onions and garlic. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the avocado or olive oil. Add the onions and garlic and cook 7-8 minutes until onions are translucent. Remove the skillet from heat.
Place the salmon in a large bowl (removing the skin) and flake with a fork. Add the onions, garlic, beaten egg, and almond or tiger nut flour.
Using your hands form patties of desired size. Using the same skillet you cooked the onions and garlic, reheat it over medium heat.
Cook patties 4-5 minutes on one side and flip. Cook 3-4 more minutes or until sides are golden brown. Enjoy immediately, topping with paleo tartar sauce.
To make the paleo tartar sauce: place all ingredients in a bowl and whisk until combined.
