If you stumbled upon this post because you were looking for healthy recipes to get a little holiday dough off, howdy! I actually made this recipe out of spite. About two years ago, our grocery store discontinued our favorite jalapeno salmon burgers. I was not a happy lady, he was not a happy dude so I sought to rectify that. I don’t follow a low carb lifestyle but this just happens to fit into one. I used almond flour instead of panko because honestly, I knew after the holidays, that expensive bag of flour would likely sit there until its expiration date. So why not make something yummy a little better for us out of them.
I can’t tell you how happy we were with the results! They aren’t overly spicy since the seeds and ribs are not included with the jalapeno. I used an aged cheddar that had a great kick on its own and then you add the shallots, mustard and spices and man was it GOOD! Not only did I get to make us a big, ol mondo patty in lieu of their paltry pre-packaged deal but I got to control the sodium, taste and the hubby said it was better than theirs. So pffft!
I could certainly divide the mixture by 4 and make 4 1/2 ounce patties but that day it was go big or go home so I went for it. It was a 6 ounce dinner portion that I put on a big ol’ salad and the next day, we split the other one for a lunch salad. You could pre-make the patties then freeze them, separate with wax paper and then wrap well and store them in the freezer for when you need them. You could also cook up a batch and use them as part of your meal prep for the week. Exclude the cheese if you’re following a plan that frowns upon dairy and sub an equal amount of nutritional yeast. The video shows you how to bring it all together and what the recipe should look like in different stages.

I haven’t had salmon patties. It’s a but expensive in my side of the world, so I don’t get it often. If I do, I’ll make sure to remember this recipe. I love jalapeños and cheese. I am sure these taste fabulous! Thanks for sharing at this week’s Fiesta Friday party!
