I was scrounging around the pantry to find something to fix myself for dinner (the boys had pot pies — one of their favorite & easy-to-fix quick dinners), and I found a can of pink salmon. I decided to mix it with flax seed meal, dill relish, spicy brown mustard, pepper and an herb seasoning mix that I got in the bulk aisle at the grocery store.

I wasn’t sure it would hold together very well without egg (and I was totally out of eggs), but I was pleased! One can of pink salmon made six patties. I pan-fried them in a skillet with cooking oil spray.

Salmon has zero carbs, and the seasonings are nominal, if any. The dill relish has about 1 g carb per Tbsp, and I used about 1/4 c for the whole batch. So, all in all, this was an extremely low-carb and delicious dinner!

I ate a couple of patties plain, because I wasn’t very hungry, but any number of side dishes would go well with salmon.
