Easy Keto Salmon Cake
When crafting this dish, the standout element has to be the AMAZING coleslaw dip. Previously, I would whip up my own, especially for recipes akin to the keto chicken nuggets.
However, since I discovered Dairy-Free in my recent dairy-free keto, my culinary journey has taken a remarkable turn.
Another highlight of this dish is the delightful avocado garnish it’s crowned with. It injects a vibrant flavor and enhances the dish’s nutritional value by boosting the fat quotient.
A quick heads-up regarding the recipe: While you can opt for fresh salmon and then proceed to cook it, I prioritize simplicity, ready availability, and practicality over premium wild catches.
The choice is yours!
