Salmon is a fantastic fish – packed with potassium, vitamins, and omega-3 fatty acids, we should all be eating more of it! However fillets get old fast, which is why we’re whipping up this amazing salmon cake recipe. Best of all, this salmon cake recipe is Whole30, paleo, and gluten-free, so it works for all eaters!
Ingredients:
- 2 fillets of salmon, cooked and shredded
- 1 Cup of Sweet potatoes puree
- Juice of half a lemon
- 1/2 Cup Parsley, chopped finely
- 4 stalks of green onions, finely chopped
- 1/2 Cup assorted bell pepper, finely chopped
- 3/4 Cup of Almond Flour
- Salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp. of coconut oil
- 1 egg, whisked
Heat oven to 400 F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or grease it generously and keep aside.
In a bowl, mix all the ingredients in a large bowl and mix till combined.
Scoop out 1/3 cup of mix and shape into patties. Arrange on the prepped cookie sheet.
Chill in the fridge for 20-30 minutes. Bake the patties for about 20 minutes, then flip and bake for another 12-15 minutes till done. Serve hot. Refrigerate leftovers.
Yum!

These look yummy. However, I have no idea how much salmon it calls for – 2 fillets – how much is that???
Hi Susan – the fillets should measure out to around 5-6 ounces each.
Susan- you can also use 3 cans of salmon. I like to get the ones that are boneless and skinless. 🙂
Yes how much is 2 filets of salmon? Also is it okay to leave out the egg? Thanks so much, this looks easy and delicious!!
Not sure I’d recommend leaving out the egg as it will help hold the salmon cake together, but feel free to give it a shot and let us know how it goes!
You can use ground flax seed as an egg substitute. Grind in a small coffee grinder. Freshly ground seeds work best, over the store-bought milled variety. For each egg, combine 1 tablespoon of ground flax seed (measure after grinding) with 3 tablespoons of water. Stir well, and place in the fridge to set for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, the result should be a sticky egg-like substitute.
on the sweet potato puree do you add anything to the sweet potato – butter, ghee, salt, etc?
Nope, you just purée the sweet potato. All of the ingredients are listed, just followed instructions! 🙂
How do you whisk an egg? I’m a dad trying to cook a healthy dinner for my family. Should I start with something easier? I’ll you tube it. Lol.
Just grab a whisk or a fork and mix it around until it’s fully mixed up/dissolved. You got this! 🙂
Will these keep in the freezer to keep for lunches the next week? My round made 10!!
Generally, cooked salmon can last a couple months in the freeze so you should be fine! Hard to say for sure though, they might get soggy. I haven’t tried freezing yet so can’t say. Give it a go and let us know!
can I use any seasonings when cooking?
Pretty much
Why could you not fry these in a skillet as opposed to baking them in the oven?
Frying isn’t ideal on Whole30!
