Servings 6 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb fresh salmon or 2 6-oz cans of salmon
  • 2-3 tbsp avocado oil for cooking the cakes
  • 1 onion minced
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • ¼ cup oat flour or flax flour
  • 2 tbsp plain greek yogurt or sour cream optional
  • 1 tsp capers optional
  • Large sunny side up, poached, or over-easy eggs per serving for plating optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 425 °F
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the salmon skin-side down, drizzle with oil and season with salt, pepper, and seafood seasonings & bake uncovered for 10 min, or until cooked through
  • Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely
  • While your salmon cooks, finely mince your onion, garlic, and parsley (a food processor can really help to speed this step up if you have one)
  • Heat a skillet over med heat, add 1-2 tablespoons of avocado oil, and cook the onions and garlic until translucent, stirring until softened (3-4 minutes)
  • Remove skin from cooled salmon and set aside. Then gently flake your cooled salmon with a fork in a large mixing bowl. Add the sauteed onion, garlic, flour, whisked eggs, parsley, and a pinch of salt and pepper, and stir until combined
  • Using wet hands, form into 10-12 patties
  • Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat and add enough avocado oil to cover the bottom (about 2 tablespoons). Add cakes to the pan and fry for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden and crispy. Remove to a plate once done. In the same pan with the leftover oil, add back in your salmon skins and fry until crispy, flipping occasionally. Then add your remaining 2 eggs and fry sunny-side up, or over easy. Once skins have cooled, you can cut them into little crunchy ribbons to garnish your cakes with
  • Plate up your omega-3 masterpiece! Place a dollop of plain greek yogurt, or sour cream, on each cake, followed by your egg, capers, and crispy salmon skins. Feel free to mix and match with your toppings!
