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.

I added finely cut shrimp that I squeezed the liquid out because I didn't have enough salmon (about 1/4 or a bit more)
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! :)Reply: #6

Hi Kristen, what do you think about freezing the patties before frying to make this a freezer meal?

Could I add a bit of almond or coconut flour to help hold together?

The egg will help hold them together as it cooks.

I wish there was a video. I've never heard of shredding an onion, I WOULD like to see that. I just chopped them. This recipe is same one I have used for many, many years. It's an old standby. I added a little Old Bay seasoning to brighten the fish flavor. I will certainly prepare this recipe again and again.

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.
