These Keto Salmon Patties are a delicious way to enjoy salmon on the keto diet. They are delicious with this smoky dill sauce and make a great lunch or light evening meal.
Almond flour and egg are used in the mixture to aid in binding the salmon patty together instead of breadcrumbs. The addition of jalapeno adds just a little bit of something extra to the flavor and goes great with the salmon.

Canned salmon: be sure to pick through and remove any residual bones you may find in the salmon.
Jalapeno peppers: this is optional, pepper fans can include them and you can leave this out if feeding kids. Jalapenos can have different heat factors some may be super spice while others may seem mild. Go with what you are comfortable with.
Almond Flour: adds a little filler to help bind the fish with the egg.
Eggs: used as a binder
Red Onion: added for flavor and color, a regular yellow onion can be used instead.
Mayonnaise: if your not lazy keto, then this brand is an excellent one!
