Instructions
- 1
Cut the salmon into rough 1-inch chunks. Place half in a food processor and pulse 4–5 times until coarsely ground with some larger pieces remaining — do not over-process to a paste. Transfer to a large mixing bowl. Finely chop the remaining salmon by hand into small pieces and add to the bowl. This two-texture approach gives the patties a meatier bite.

Add the cassava flour, 3 tbsp dill, scallion greens, 1 tbsp lemon juice, lemon zest, turmeric, ginger, and 1/2 tsp salt to the salmon. Fold together with a spatula until just combined and the mixture holds together when pressed. Do not overmix.
