How Do I Store These Keto Salmon Patties?
You can store these delicious snacks for up to 5 days in the refrigerator and you can serve them cold or reheat them in the microwave.

Can I Substitute Fresh Fish for Canned Fish?
Yes, you can use fresh fish of any kind in this salmon patty recipe. Some of my favorite substitutes are cod, mahi-mahi, and tuna. You will need to steam or poach the fish first and then shred to the consistency you want to make your patties with. I suggest adding some seasoning such as salt when steaming or poaching your fresh fish to give it a bit more flavor.
What can I serve with my Keto Salmon Patties?
Steamed vegetables are my favorite item to serve with these full-flavored salmon patties. I love to steam my vegetables and squeeze fresh lime or lemon over both the salmon patties and my veggies. There are several low-carb sauces you can make also to kick this up to another level. My personal favorite is a lemon dill sauce. You can also add fresh dill or capers to the patty mixture to give it a slightly different flavor profile.
