Low-Carb Salmon Cakes Are Delicious and Ready in a Flash

Chef-Inspired Salmon Cakes

On a recent lunch visit to a favorite Cleveland restaurant, L’Albatros Brasserie, I ordered the salmon cakes.  They were served on a bed of mesclun with a simple lemon and olive oil vinaigrette.  The salmon cakes were so good, I had to try making them at home.

Use that Leftover Salmon

We had leftover grilled salmon from dinner the night before.  I flaked it with a fork, then mixed it with the ingredients listed below.

Delicious, and I stayed within my carb limits for the day, so double good!

This recipe is easy, and low-carb.  To make it gluten-free, just substitute gluten-free bread crumbs. You can use bottled vinaigrette,  or make your own by mixing  olive oil and lemon juice 2 to 1, and adding salt and pepper to taste.  If the dressing is a bit sharp, sprinkling in some sugar will help.

Easy, Low-Carb Salmon Cakes

Use leftover cooked salmon, or cook and cool salmon prior to making the salmon cakes.
