Crunchy on the outside and tender on the inside, this low-carb entree is made from canned salmon, so you will always have it on hand for an emergency dinner. The sauce is easy and creamy and also low carb.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

These low-carb salmon patties are a delicious dinner option. The canned salmon brings a robust and savory taste to the patties with a hint of oceanic richness. One fried, they have a crispy exterior that gives way to tender, flaky salmon inside. Drizzling with the creamy and velvety Dijon mustard sauce complements the salmon and adds a touch of indulgence. They are made with pantry ingredients and are easy to make when you're not sure what's for dinner.

How To Make low-carb salmon patties with creamy sauce

Test Kitchen Tips
You can make these salmon patties as big or small as you'd like. We used 2 Tbsp of the mixture and got 18 salmon patties.
  • Salmon patty ingredients added to a bowl.
    Step 1
    In a medium to large bowl, combine all ingredients for the salmon patties except olive oil and butter. Use as much mayo as you need to hold the mixture together. I used almost 2 tablespoons.
  • Olive oil and butter in a skillet.
    Step 2
    Heat a nonstick pan over medium-high heat and add 2 Tbsp butter and 2 Tbsp olive oil just a bit.
  • Forming the salmon patties.
    Step 3
    Form patties the size of your palm patting to keep the mixture together.
  • Patties in the butter and oil.
    Step 4
    Place 4-5 patties in oil/butter in a heated pan and let brown on one side (about 3 minutes).
  • Browning the second side.
    Step 5
    Turn only once and let brown on the other side. Turn down the heat if browning too much.
  • Fried patties on a plate.
    Step 6
    Remove to a plate. Repeat with the other 2 Tbsp of oil and butter until all patties are browned.
  • Sauce ingredients in a bowl.
    Step 7
    In a small bowl, mix sauce ingredients using as much Dijon mustard as you like. Serve with salmon patties.
