- 1/3 cup lemon juice
- 2 onions diced
- 1 red bell pepper diced
- 2 stalks celery diced
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- ½ spoon ginger minced
- 1 cup almond flour

Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
Marinade the salmon for an hour in olive oil, lemon juice, paprika, pepper and salt
Bake the marinated salmon in preheated oven for 10–13 minutes, or until it flakes with a fork. Remove from the oven and let it cool.
Sauté the onion for a minute, after that add in garlic, ginger, peppers, turmeric, and celery, saute until it becomes translucent.
Take off the skin from the cooked salmon when it cools down and place it in a bowl. Add the chopped parsley, dill, mayonnaise, almond flour, eggs, and sautéed veggies. Mix well.
Form the mixture into small patties with your hands.
Heat the olive or coconut oil in a skillet and cook the salmon cakes until brown on both sides. Remove and place on a paper towel-lined plate. Alternatively, you can oven bake them on a cookie sheet at 400 degrees F for 10–12 minutes on each side.
Serve with the Dill Dressing and a side of vegetables. You can freeze leftover salmon cakes for later.
