Most people think of tuna when you say “canned fish.” But not me. I think of sardines and canned salmon. Canned meat is something I grew up on but I can’t remember what got me into other canned fish besides tuna. Because I was big on tuna in college. I’d buy it in bulk from the Super WalMart near campus and make tuna salad in my dorms. At some point I graduated to salmon? Yes, I’m asking you because I really have no idea.
However I got here I’m glad it happened and you will be too. Because I am going to share one of the tastiest, cost effective, easy to make keto recipes ever. You guessed it-salmon cakes. And to take it to the next keto level we are adding avocado. Not just any avocado but an avocado cream dip. You’re welcome.
