Feta cheese sauce
Tip
The patties can also be made with canned salmon. Drain off excess liquid and add to the recipe in place of fresh salmon.
Onion, garlic, sour cream and the salad all add to the carb count in this recipe.
I'm sorry, I don't have the nutrition breakdown by meal component.
After following the instruction, I found it was very "wet" so I added about 1 cup of pork rinds and still in the pan didn't
hold together as good as in the picture. Could be 2 things as I see it, I minces the onions instead of shredding but should not of mattered,
2, I might have made them too thick. The feta cheese sauce was amazing. I did add about 1/4 cup of Costco Caesar salad dressing and added powder garlic instead of raw garlic. Would be overwhelmingly be too garlicky. Add powder and taste, repeat till you have the amount of garlicky taste as you want.
My take and it was great. Added more fat! :)
The likely culprit here is the shrimp.
That should work well!
The egg will help hold them together as it cooks.
Since fish cooks quickly and onion does not, if you have bigger pieces of onion they will remain quite hard so to avoid that you can shred it. But you can dice it if you want.
