How to Season Your Keto Fish Patties

We have added chopped green olives and fresh dill to our Keto burger patties. This recipe is, however, very versatile and easy to adapt. You could swap the olives for chopped capers or even use black olives and sub the dill for some fresh parsley or basil. The basic recipe makes a great base for you to experiment with your favorite low carb seasonings and flavors. Please be sure to adjust your macros to account for any changes made to the original recipe.

Serving Suggestions

This Keto fish recipe makes a great protein-packed option for lunch or dinner. Perfect served with a Mediterranean salad or some buttered broccoli. Alternatively, you can serve the patties in your favorite low carb bun or wrap, turning them into a Keto burger. These would work well in a lettuce wrap or a Keto bread bun with a lemon mayonnaise dressing.

Ingredients

8 ounce canned salmon
6 medium green olives
1 tablespoon dill weed, fresh
1 teaspoon lemon peel or zest raw
1 medium raw egg
1 tablespoon olive oil
¼ teaspoon salt, sea salt
⅛ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

Drain the salmon and flake the flesh into a bowl. Finely chop the dill and olives and add to the bowl along with the lemon zest, salt and pepper. Mix well to combine. You may add more or less seasonings to taste as desired.
Crack the egg into the bowl with the other ingredients. Mix well so that everything is well coated in the egg. The mixture should be bound together and easy to mold with your hands.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over a medium heat. Divide the salmon mixture into two even-sized portions and shape into patties with your hands. Place the patties in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes or until golden. Carefully flip the patties with a silicone spatula and cook on the second side for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown all over, cooked through and piping. Serve with your preferred Keto sides.
