Modifications for a Keto Diet

Generally salmon cakes will contain bread or breadcrumbs. Tasty, but off-limits. Instead, I included coconut flour and shredded coconut.

Coconut flour and shredded coconut help bind the cakes together, along with eggs.

The dill sauce didn’t really need much in the way of modifications, although this version uses coconut milk where a lot of others use sour cream.

Health Benefits of Salmon

As you probably know, fish in general and salmon in particular are really good for you. Probably at the top of the list are their omega-3 fatty acids.

Omega-3 fatty acids decrease inflammation, reduce cancer risk and improve artery health. If you’re concerned about heart health, increasing your intake of omega-3s is probably a smart move.

In addition, omega-3s are good for your joints, your brain and your vision. Basically, there are a lot of good things going for you.

Salmon is also a great source of vitamin B12, vitamin D, vitamin B3 and selenium.

As you’d probably guess, salmon also provides a good amount of protein. A serving using this keto salmon fish cakes with creamy dill sauce will get you 42 grams.

Protein assists with healing and recovery, bone health and prevents muscle loss. That last one becomes even more important as you age.

Power up your mind and body and enjoy a healthy meal with this keto salmon fish cakes recipe with creamy dill sauce! In case you are just looking for a non-keto version, here’s one for you.
