Primal Salmon Patties



I use to be cautious about the fish I bought, because of concerns about mercury. Recently, I stumbled upon this great article by Chris Kresser. Basically, he says that it's worse to not eat fish, than to eat fish that might be slightly contaminated with mercury or radiation. Omega 3 oils are critical for so many important functions in our body, that fish is just a necessity of a well rounded diet. This is one of the first recipes I made with the bulk order of canned salmon I bought, and it's been a family favorite.  It's super simple to prepare, and most of the ingredients are pantry staples that most of us always have on hand.


I really like this recipe because it's great for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Before I began following the Autoimmune Paleo protocol, I even packed them in my back-pack for snack between classes! I'm sure there are some really great recipes out there for paleo condiments that would go great with these!



    Ingredients

  • 2 free range eggs
  • 2 six oz. cans of wild caught salmon
  • 1 teaspoon of sea salt
  • 1.5 teaspoons of organic garlic granules
  • 1.5 teaspoons of organic onion powder
  • 2 teaspoons of organic dried parsley
  • 2 teaspoons of organic dried basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
  • 1.5 teaspoons of organic thyme powder
  • 1 + 1/3 cup of arrowroot flour
  • 1 tablespoon of lard, tallow, or coconut oil

1. Whisk eggs until they are completely mixed. 

2. Add salt, garlic, onion, pepper, parsley, basil, and thyme to the egg mixture and mix well.

3. Drain both cans of salmon, then add fish to egg mixture. Using a fork mash the salmon until there are no large chunks remaining.

4. Add arrowroot to mixture, and combine completely. 

5. Heat chosen fat in a large skillet on medium. Using a large spoon, scoop salmon out onto skillet. Press down to form a 1/4' thick, and 3" in diameter patty. Cook for about 5 minutes on each side, or until patty begins to turn golden brown. 

Makes about 9 patties. 

Enjoy!

  3. Could you specify the amount for the arrowroot? I'm reading it as 1.3 cups.

    1. Hi Ashlee,

      It was supposed to read 1 + 1/3 cup of arrowroot flour. It should be fixed now. Thanks for pointing that out! :)
