I make a curry chicken salad I eat with raw spinach that would fit your macro requirements:
Rotisserie Chicken - skin removed, chopped (or two pounds chicken breast, chopped)
Light Sour Cream, 3/4 cup
Light Mayonnaise - 4 Tbsp
Celery - 3 stalks, chopped small
Carrots - 3, chopped small
Onions - 2 tbsp, chopped small
Raisins - small box, 10 grams, chopped
Curry powder - 2 tbsp
I assume all of this is mixed together like a chicken salad. Do you put it in/on something or just eat it with a fork?
Yep, just like chicken salad. I layer it in a bowl with handfuls of spinach and eat it with a fork. My husband likes to eat it on low carb tortillas like little burritos.0 -
OK, did a little research. A Salmon pattie consists of three main ingredients. Salmon, Eggs and Bread crumbs.
I am no cook so I need some informed opinions. If I use 2 cans of Salmon, 1 egg and 28 grams of bread crumbs would I get a pattie or a mess?
The macros would be 20, 15, 50 so that would be pretty close to perfect. I could add a little evoo or garlic oil to up the fat maybe a little sugar to up the carbs. What do you think?
the recipes i am seeing call for 1 egg for every 7-8oz of salmon and 1/2 cup breadcrumbs.
I haven't made salmon patties yet. So I can't speak from experience.
your suggestion should work, but you'd be looking at something more like salmon burgers. (i usually add 1 egg and 1-2 tbsp breadcrumbs or flour to however much ground beef i am using at the time)
You might try and experiment with a bit more breadcrumbs, and maybe an extra egg white...
worst case scenario - the patties are going to crumble and fall apart - it doesn't influence the flavour all that much ;-)0
