Ingredients

0.5 lb 250g skinless salmon frozen or fresh, cut into small cubes
2 large eggs
5 tablespoon almond flour
½ cup 8g cilantro chopped
2-3 teaspoon chipotle paste depending on the level of spiciness you prefer

Instructions

In a medium mixing bowl, add the cubed salmon, eggs, almond flour, cilantro, chipotle paste, ground black pepper, and salt to taste. Stir with a spoon, fork, or a spatula until fully combined.
Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
When the pan is hot, melt the butter and form 3 salmon cakes by pouring around ⅓ cup of the mixture per cake onto the skillet and fry for 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
Repeat the process with the remaining mixture.
Serve immediately, garnished with freshly-chopped cilantro, sliced lemon, and some chilled full-fat sour cream.
