- Antioxidants to help reduce inflammation.
These salmon cakes are an easy and delicious way to get all those benefits in one meal.

How to Make Salmon Cakes with Avocado Mayo Sauce
To make the salmon cakes, simply combine the salmon, eggs, garlic, mustard, Italian seasoning, and flour in a mixing bowl. Mix until well combined.
Form the mixture into small patties, about 2-3 inches in diameter. Heat the butter, ghee, or coconut oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties until golden brown or about 3-4 minutes per side.
Next, make the avocado mayo sauce by mashing avocado in a small bowl and mixing in mayo, garlic, dill, salt, and pepper until smooth. Serve each salmon cake with a generous spoonful of avocado mayo sauce plus veggies of your choice.
