Salmon Patties

I made a quick trip to HEB today and bought a can of Honey Boy Pink Salmon. I saw the recipe on the back for salmon patties, and it brought me back to my childhood. My mom used to make us salmon patties all the time. I made a few edits to the ingredients to make it more paleo-friendly and whipped them up in about 15 minutes. Yumo!!! It was a nice change of pace for protein and fat consumption, and I have a ton of leftovers. Enjoy.

Salmon Patties

• 1 can (14.75oz) Pink Salmon
• ~1 cup of almond flour (used this in place of bread crumbs)
• chopped purple onion
• 1/4 cup of coconut milk (instead of regular milk)
• 2 eggs
• 1 TB lemon juice
• Sea salt, pepper, & dill weed

Drain salmon, reserving 2TB liquid. Combine all ingredients including the 2TB of liquid. Shape into patties. Pan-fry on both sides in coconut oil or olive oil until golden brown.

Fire Roasted vs. Roasted

(my bowl of walnuts, cashews, almonds, and slivered almonds)

Almond, cashew, walnut---basically all nut lovers--- BEWARE. If you are not reading the ingredients on the packages of nuts and nut butters you are purchasing then you could be doing yourself a disservice. There is a vast difference in fire roasted nuts and roasted nuts. Fire roasted simply means the nuts are baked at 400-degrees with NO added oils. However, roasted nuts often have oils added to the ingredients, such as soybean oil, peanut oil, and vegetable oil, which are oils that I highly advise steering clear from in your diet.

Empower yourself and be an informed consumer. Read labels. HEB has fire roasted cashews and a mixed nut medley that is simply the nuts and sea salt. Whole Foods and Sun Harvest have almonds, walnuts, and cashews in their pure form as well, but they also have the same nuts with a lot of extra additives and oils. Read. Read. Read.
