Does anybody have a recipe for salmon patties or salmon cakes that is legal on la weight loss. Mine have meal, egg and salmon and fried in a small amount of oil(very small amount).

probably if you measure out the other ingredients and divide by the number of servings you are making you would find that one would equal a protein, a fat, and a starch... I'm guessing.

YOu could replace the meal with Parm( green can) or crushed pork rinds. That would make it 1 protein and a condiment or fat.

I think I have an LAWL recipe for these at home. I will look and hopefully post tonight.

[Thighs Be Gone]

I am not doing LA but I eat salmon cakes at least once weekly--if not biweekly.

1 pound Sockeye Salmon (preferably fresh)
Diced celery, bell peppers, or anything you want, desired amount
1 piece whole wheat bread (I like Pepperidge Farm) finely diced
1 Egg White
1-2 Tbs of whole wheat flour


Diced uncooked salmon, put in diced bread and other ingredients. Shape into 6 patties. Roll in egg white. Pat with tiny amount of wheat flour. Cook on stovetop over medium heat in nonfat cooking spray.

My sauce to go on top is usually fat-free miracle whip with wasabi powder and water for thinning.

I hope this helps.

ETA: I found something the other night that I also liked to do. I chopped up peppers and onions and placed them in the bottom of my skillet with some nonfat spray. I placed the patties atop the veggies and let them cook like that--lid on. Gosh, it was good.

Also, I want to stress the importance of the nutrition of Sockeye Salmon over the "Atlantic" salmon. Atlantic salmon and Sockeye are very, very different. Atlantic is fed a diet of oil and shrimp peel and while called "Atlantic" they are farm-raised. They also have DYE in them. Nutritionally, they are far inferior to Sockeye.

I totally forgot to check for the LA recipe last night. Life has been so hectic. I'm literally sending myself a text mssg as a reminder! Ha!
