Instructions

Step 1

Combine all of the salmon burger ingredients, except the coconut oil, in a large bowl and mix well. If mixture is pretty wet, add additional almond flour 1 Tbsp. at a time.

Step 2

Form into 6-8 patties. Patties easily fall apart until they are cooked. Handle with caution.

Step 3

Heat coconut oil on a griddle or pan to medium-high heat.

Step 4

Once hot (oil must be hot), carefully add burgers to pan and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side or until cooked through. Patties should sizzle when added to pan.

Step 5

To serve, top with 1-2 Tbsp. avocado garlic sauce and tuck into a lettuce wrap if you wish.

Step 6

For sauce: In a food processor or blender, combine all of the ingredients and process until smooth.
