I’ve always loved crab cakes, even as a child. I realized there are never any gluten-free or egg-free versions of crab cakes or salmon cakes at restaurants, so it was time to experiment! I like to use the Wild Planet Boneless & Skinless Sockeye Salmon for this recipe.

Instructions
- Using a clean towel squeeze salmon to remove excess water. Flake salmon with a fork to restore texture.
- In a large bowl, mix salmon, red onion, spinach, avocado, basil, garlic, salt, pepper, coconut milk, and apple cider vinegar with your hands.
- In a blender, combine flax seeds and hot water. Start blender on low and slowly add gelatin. Increase speed and mix well for 30 seconds.
- Add to salmon mixture and mix with a wooden spoon. Add flour as needed to thicken up texture. Shape mixture into 6 to 7 patties. Let sit in the refrigerator covered for 30 minutes to an hour.
- To cook, heat large pan over medium-high heat with 1-2 tablespoons coconut oil. Add salmon cakes and cook for about 5 minutes on each side until crispy.
