Salmon Cakes/Patties with Mango Salsa ~ Paleo Style

I had a friend that shared her recipe book with me, I found several good tasting recipes in this book.  I will share this one with you, that my family really enjoyed.

2 - 6 ounce cans of wild salmon, drained

2 eggs, beaten

3 tablespoons minced shallots

1 - 2 cloves garlic, minced or grated

2 tablespoons green onions (Scallions), minced

1 teaspoon savory spice blend (see the blend below)

2 teaspoons gluten-free mustard (optional)

1 - 2 teaspoons coconut flour (optional)

1/4 cup coconut oil or butter

Combine the salmon, eggs, shallots, garlic, green onions, savory spice blend, and mustard (optional0 in a small mixing bowl.  If the consistency is runny, sift the coconut flour over the mixture, and combine well.

In a large pan over medium heat, melt enough coconut oil to create a layer about 1/4 inch thick.  Form the salmon mixture into 4 equally sized patties, and place them in the pan, all at once or 2 at a time.  Allow the patties to brown on one side before flipping, and cook all the way through.

Serve warm or as leftovers.

Savory Spice Blend



1 tablespoon dried rosemary
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon onion powder
½ tablespoon paprika
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon sea salt
