Salmon Patties

I took this recipe from Home, Health and Happiness and tweaked it a bit.

2 cans salmon (6 oz each - wild caught, packed in water, nothing added)
1/2 c. shredded coconut
2 eggs
1/2 an onion
a huge handful baby carrots
2 big handfuls spinach
2 cloves garlic

In the food processor I pureed the onion, carrots, spinach and garlic.  Before adding it the bowl with the salmon I squeezed out some of the excess liquid.  Mixed everything together and added salt to taste.  Formed into patties and fried in some coconut oil.

I tried to make a hollandaise sauce to go with them, but it wasn't creamy...a bit thick but still tasty.  I used room-temperature ghee instead of butter which might have been the problem as it's supposed to be cold.

My husband and I really enjoyed the salmon patties, everyone else just sort of picked at them.  I served it with green peas, butternut squash pudding, sauerkraut, avocado and olive oil.


Because of the coconut this is a Full recipe.  I think it would also work well using a nut flour instead, which could then be eaten in Stage 4.

Fish patties

I loosely based the fish patties on this recipe. 

I used about:

1/3 cup leftover cod from last night
some salmon
1/2 an onion
1 zucchini
7 or 8 baby carrots
2 cloves garlic
about 1/3 to 1/2 cup ground nuts (almonds and pecans)
3 eggs
salt

Pureed all the veggies and added it to the fish with the eggs and nuts then mixed it all together.  It was a bit goopy but I formed mushy patties and laid them gently in the pan and they held together just fine.  Cooked it in my cast iron skillet until browned on both sides.  Would have been great with some homemade mayo, but I didn't have my olive oil until late in the afternoon.  Maybe next time.


All the kids ate these and had seconds or fifths, depending on the kid.


This is a Stage 4 recipe because it's not boiled!
