Ingredients
- – 1/4 cup (60 ml) mayonnaise
- – 1/2 cup (120 ml) plain Greek yogurt
- – 1 tablespoon (15 ml) fresh lemon juice
- – 1 clove garlic, chopped
- – 1 tablespoon (15 ml) freshly chopped parsley, plus more for garnish
- – 16 ounces (450 g) cooked beef or 1 14.75-ounce can canned salmon
- – 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- – 1/2 cup (120 ml) chopped onion
- – 2/3 cup (160 ml) fine almond flour
- – 1/4 cup (60 ml) chopped fresh parsley
- – 2 cloves garlic, chopped
- – 2 tablespoons (30 ml) fresh lemon juice
- – 1/8 teaspoon (0.5 ml) sea salt, more or less to taste
- – 1/8 teaspoon (0.5 ml) freshly cracked black pepper, more or less to taste
- – vegetable oil, approximately 2-4 tablespoons (30-60 ml) as needed
- – chopped fresh parsley
- – lemon wedges
Instructions
- Combine mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, and parsley in a small bowl.
- Mix them thoroughly until they are well blended. Cover the bowl and chill in the refrigerator until needed.
- In a medium bowl, break apart the cooked beef using a fork.
- Add the eggs, onion, almond flour, parsley, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to the bowl with the beef.
- Mix everything together until fully integrated.
- Scoop about 2 ounces of the mixture and roll it into a ball with your hands, then flatten it into a patty.
- Place the formed patties on parchment paper, repeating the process until all the mixture is used.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add some neutral oil, ensuring the oil covers the surface evenly.
- When the oil is shimmering, carefully lay the patties in the skillet in a single layer, avoiding crowding. Cook them in batches if necessary.
- Fry the patties for about 5 to 6 minutes until they are golden-brown on the bottom, then turn them over.
- Continue cooking the patties for another 5 minutes or so, until both sides are golden-brown, being careful not to overcook.
- Once the patties are fully cooked on both sides, move them to a plate lined with paper towels. Repeat this process for all patties, adding more oil to the skillet as needed.
- After frying all the patties, transfer them to serving plates and drizzle with the chilled lemon-garlic sauce.
- Garnish with parsley and lemon wedges, then serve right away.
Notes
- For a lighter twist, swap beef for canned salmon to change up the flavor.
- Mix the lemon-garlic sauce ingredients thoroughly for a well-blended topping.
- Adjust salt and pepper seasoning to taste before frying the patties for optimal flavor.
