Salmon Patties (Grain, Dairy, Nut Free)

Today’s guest post is by Rachel from Soundness of Body & Mind. I consider Rachel a friend and an inspiration. Her transformation story and journey to healthy living is admirable. Her passion for health and wellness is contagious and she documents her journey on her blog. Her blog has everything from healthy recipes to nutrition tips to healthy living posts. Her Caramelized Pineapple and Onion Pork Chops are one of my favorite dinner recipes! You’ll also want to like her page on facebook and keep up with her blog so you can follow along on her journey and be inspired, too!

Most kids don’t like fish because they think it’s stinky. Yet, I wasn’t the typical kid. My favorite fish to eat is salmon and I like to thank my Mom for that because she made the best Salmon Patties while I was growing up. When I went grain-free and could no longer consume breadcrumbs, I decided to recreate a grain-free version of her recipe. I hope you enjoy it.
