- 1 1/2 cups grated zucchini
- 3/4 tsp sea salt divided
- 2 6 oz cans of wild salmon drained
- 2 eggs
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 3 tbsp coconut flour
- 2 tbsp paleo mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp dijon mustard
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
- 2-3 tbsp coconut oil or your preferred cooking oil
Place grated zucchini in a colander and sprinkle evenly with 1/4 tsp sea salt. Toss together gently.
Let it sit for 15 minutes, then use your hands to squeeze out all the liquid.
Place in a mixing bowl with 1/2 tsp of seal salt and the rest of the ingredients, except coconut oil.
Use a 1/4 cup measurement to gather the mixture into patties about 1/2 inch thick.
Heat 1 tbsp of coconut oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the cakes for 3-4 minutes per side until golden, adding more oil as you go.
Serve with your favorite sauce.
