Author: Heidi Boortz
Servings : 7

Ingredients

Salmon

  • 1 lb salmon fillet wild caught preferred
  • 1 cup 100% whole wheat panko
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup cilantro chopped
  • 1 Tbsp Dijon mustard no sugar listed in ingredients
  • 1/4 cup plain yogurt
  • 1 Tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 3 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Avocado Salsa

  • 1 avocado large, diced
  • 1 tomato diced
  • 1/3 cup red onion diced
  • 1/4 cup cilantro chopped
  • 1 Tbsp lime juice
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1 Tbsp avocado oil

Low Carb Keto Slider Buns

  • 1 cup blanched almond flour
  • 4 egg
  • 4 Tbsp coconut oil liquified
  • 1 tsp baking powder see notes
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Instructions

Salmon Sliders

  • Skin salmon. Chop into small bits. Stir salmon pieces, panko, egg, yogurt, cilantro, mustard, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet. Form salmon mixture into 2 inch balls. Place several balls in hot skillet, and flatten with the back of a spatula. Let cook 2-3 minutes per side or until golden. Repeat until all salmon has been used (we made 14 patties).
  • Place cooked salmon patties on buns and top with salsa.

Avocado Salsa

  • Combine all ingredients in a small mixing bowl.

Slider Buns

  • Preheat oven to 425. Combine all ingredients in a blender. Blend and pour into greased cupcake molds (silicone work great!). Bake at 425 for 15-20 minutes or until set. (Tops will appear wet, so don't use the appearance as your guide. Buns are done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.)

Notes

Note: we increased the baking powder in the buns to 1 teaspoon to give them a little more height.
NOTE:  To make this meal fully keto (and paleo), use almond meal or almond flour in place of the panko.
