Some tricks for getting your salmon patties to stay together well
We use canned salmon to make these Keto salmon patties, and while you’re mixing them up it can feel like they’re going to be hard to get to stick together, so we’ve got some tips.
Mix everything up in a bowl with your hands, but don’t over mix. Just combine the ingredients evenly and then set aside until you’re ready to cook them on the stove. Wait to form the salmon mixture into patties until right before you place them in the skillet. This will help you avoid over-handling them. Let them cook up undisturbed for about 4 minutes before you try to flip them. As they develop a crispy outer crust, they will stick together better. The eggs in the patties are optional, but it does help to bind them. It still works without, but they will tend to have a little more trouble staying together, so make sure to follow the tips above.
Making aioli at home
It’s not scary – let’s just get that out of the way! Don’t be intimidated by the idea of making aioli at home. Some tips for making it at home are below.
Make sure you use a container or jar that is just slightly wider than your immersion blender. We use a wide-mouth pint jar. When you start blending with the immersion blender, hold it at the bottom until the sauce turns thick and creamy. You’ll see it change color and texture. After the bottom of the jar turns creamy, slowly move the blender up to the top of the jar. Plunge the blender slowly up and down a couple of times, and that’s it!
Why make your own sauces at home
We used to just buy mayo all the time at the store, and well….it’s freaking expensive when you go through it quickly like we tend to and like you might as well. So, finally Justin decided to start making mayos, aioli sauces and other sauces, and we’ve saved a ton of money. It’s fun playing with different flavor combinations and just feels good being more resourceful in the kitchen! You should really try, and we give you a simple spicy aioli recipe to go with these salmon patties. And here are some other homemade sauce and seasoning posts you might enjoy!
