Harissa Salmon Patties
What’s better than salmon for dinner? Enough leftover salmon that you can make these Harissa Salmon Patties!
When my children were growing up, I made salmon often. I typically baked enough to eat for dinner that night plus extra for leftovers, so I could easily make salmon patties the next day. As an empty-nester now, I’m adjusting to portion sizes I make, but I still make a similar amount salmon. If I have “too much”? Assuming that’s possible when it comes to salmon? LOL! I make a big batch of salmon patties and freeze the extras so I can pop them in the oven straight from the freezer on busy nights.
Dairy-Free, Gluten-Free + Keto and Paleo Diet Friendly Harissa Salmon Patties
One of my favorite salmon recipes is Tomato Chorizo Salmon. I love using some of the leftovers to make a tomato chorizo salmon frittata for breakfast the next morning … and then the rest of the leftover salmon for these easy, delicious salmon patties! Not only are they tasty, but they’re also all kinds of good for you and diet-friendly. They are low carb, dairy-free, gluten-free and are keto diet friendly and paleo diet friendly! They also make great burgers.
