Diabetic Salmon Cake

Ingredients:
– 1 can (14.75 oz) pink salmon, drained and flaked
– 1/2 cup almond flour
– 1/4 cup finely chopped red bell pepper
– 2 tablespoons finely chopped green onions
– 1 tablespoon lemon juice
– 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
– 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
– 1/4 teaspoon paprika
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 1 large egg, lightly beaten
– 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions:
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flaked salmon, almond flour, red bell pepper, green onions, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.
2. Add the beaten egg to the salmon mixture and mix until everything comes together. The egg will act as a binder to hold the salmon cakes together.
3. Divide the salmon mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into round patties, about 1/2 inch thick. Place the patties on a plate and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes. This will help the cakes set and hold their shape during cooking.
4. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the salmon cakes to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
5. Remove the salmon cakes from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.
6. Serve the Diabetic Salmon Cakes warm with a side of fresh salad or steamed vegetables. You can also enjoy them with a dollop of Greek yogurt or a squeeze of lemon juice for an extra burst of flavor.
