These jalapeño salmon cakes pack a nice punch of heat! A way to spice up breakfast (or any meal)!
Since starting Keto, I have found myself repeating the following recipes:
- Quiche muffins
- Pan-fried chicken (on a good old cast iron skillet, yum!)
- Fat bombs (sweet lifesavers!)
- Energy Balls
- Protein smoothies
- and lastly, these delicious spicy jalapeño salmon cakes!
If you are not the spicy type, no worries! Simply leave out the peppers. But here’s a piece of information: the heat is in the seeds! Therefore, you can still use the peppers without the seeds to enjoy a mild spiciness to the cakes. My intention is to share recipes that are versatile and serve as a base for your cooking creativity. I like to add old bay and cayenne to my salmon cakes while my husband prefers otherwise. The end goal is to enjoy what you spent your time in the kitchen creating. In my opinion, it is pretty hard to mess these up!
I prefer using boneless and skinless salmon because I am creeped out looking at those bits in the can. My husband on the other hand does not mind one bit about those extra nutrients! As a result, I end up making two batches which gets us through for a few days. We both agree that the avocado adds a nice richness to the cakes plus some good healthy fats. The hint of almond is completely unnoticeable in flour when other seasonings are added.
I have cooked these on an electric griddle and my beloved cast iron skillet. Both methods work well. I can get more cakes cooked on the electric griddle at one time. However, there is something to be said about the crispiness created by the skillet. Nevertheless, these cakes are a hit for my husband and me and serve as another great grab and go meal!
