Cheap Low Carb Salmon Patties-Great Low Carb Food

Salmon is a perfect, cheap, low carb protein choice. It's an awesome source of Omega 3-fatty acids. The American Heart Association recommends eating fish at least twice a week because it's a good source of protein and low in saturated fat. Fatty fish including trout, sardines, tuna, and salmon are high in omega-3 fatty acids, which may reduce the risk of heart disease. Also, salmon is a good source of Vitamin B6 and Calcium, a very good source of Protein, Niacin, Vitamin B12, Phosphorus and Selenium.

Low Carb Southern Style Salmon Patties

1 can drained pink salmon
(my favorite is pink but you can choose) I personally leave the little bones in the salmon, I like the soft crunch, adds more calcium

1-2 large eggs or Eggbeaters - lightly beaten (depending on can size)

a little lemon juice & worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, red pepper flakes

optional salt & pepper to taste

Form into patties - about 5-6, these will be a little "soupy"Spray non-stick pan with butter or olive oil flavored Pam cooking sprayHeat pan on medium high and brown patties on both sides

These are great left over - I even love them for breakfast, great low carb snack. Depending on the lemon juice, etc these should come out being less than 2 grams of carbs per pattie.

I remember eating salmon patties since I was a child and thankfully - I LOVE 'em since they are such a great low carb food for Atkins or other low carb eating plans. My mom always put in crackers as a binder, some people use flour or bread crumbs but of course, we will not do that on low carb!! ;-) That's why these will be a little soupy but it's not bad once you get them well browned on one side before flipping over. Some low carbers add a little crushed pork rinds for that "binding" effect and that's okay - just don't go overboard with those...
