Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons Ghee or Avocado Oil separated
  • 2 Celery Ribs diced
  • 1 small Onion diced
  • 1 Garlic clove chopped
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh Dill chopped
  • 1 can (5 ounce) Salmon drained
  • 1/2 cup White Sweet Potato cooked and mashed (about 1/2 potato)
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 2 teaspoon Tapioca Flour
  • AIP Mayo with dill and lemon optional topping

Instructions

  • Add 2 tablespoons of ghee to a large fry pan over medium heat. Then add the celery, onion and garlic to the pan. Saute until the onion is translucent about 3 minutes.
  • Add the celery mixture, salmon, sweet potato, dill, salt and tapioca to a medium sized mixing bowl then set aside.
  • Combine all the ingredients then divide into 4 patties.
  • Add another 2 tablespoons of ghee to fry pan over medium heat. Once hot, fry the patties until golden and heated through, about 2-3 minutes each side.
  • Remove from the heat and serve with AIP Mayo mixed with dill and additional lemon.

Notes

  • To cook your sweet potato, bake in the oven at 350 degrees for 1 hour.
  • Be gentle when cooking these cakes. They are fragile and will fall apart if you’re not careful.
  • The recipe called for canned salmon but canned tuna will work as will fresh cooked salmon.
  • I used this type of tapioca flour for this recipe. 
  • I used my Homemade Ghee for this recipe. 
  • I used my AIP Mayo recipe with a few tablespoons of chopped dill and slices of lemon as a side for this dish.
