- 1 spring onions (cauliflower, 240 g/ 8.5 oz - here's how to "rice" cauliflower)
- 2 large eggs

- 4 tablespoons flax seed meal (cauliflower, 240 g/ 8.5 oz - here's how to "rice" cauliflower)

- 2 cloves garlic (cauliflower, 240 g/ 8.5 oz - here's how to "rice" cauliflower)
Instructions
- Start by cooking the cauliflower rice (here's how to make cauliflower rice).
- Grease a small saucepan with 1 tablespoon of ghee and add 1 clove of minced garlic.
- Cook over a medium heat for just about 30 seconds or until fragrant, add the cauli-rice and season with a pinch of salt.
- Stir and cook for 5-7 minutes, until crisp-tender.
- When done, take off the heat and set aside.
- Cook the fish.
- Use a paper towel to pat dry the fillets from all sides and season with some salt and pepper.
- Heat a large pan greased with a tablespoon of ghee over a medium-high heat.
- Once hot, add the fish and cook for 2-3 minutes without flipping it (time depends on the thickness of the fillet).
- When ready to flip, use a spatula and cook it for another 2-3 minutes.
- When cooked, the fillets should be opaque and flaky.
- Do not overcook the fish or it will get too dry.
- Use a spatula to transfer the fish into a bowl and set aside to cool down for 5-10 minutes.
- Add the cooked cauliflower rice, freshly grated lemon zest, ground cumin, chopped parsley, spring onion, eggs, almond flour and flax meal.
- Season with the remaining salt and pepper and mix until well combined.
- To make the patties, use a 1/4 measuring cup.
- Spoon the mixture into the cup and use a spoon to press it in until flat.
- Turn it over and empty onto a chopping board.
- Use your hands if you need to reshape the patties.
- Repeat with the remaining mixture until you get 18 patties.
- Heat a large frypan greased with a tablespoon of ghee over a medium-high heat.
- Once hot, reduce the heat to medium and place the patties in the frypan.
- Cook for 3-5 minutes on each side, until golden.
- Do not try to flip the patties before they are ready or you will break the crust (you can test that by moving them slightly with a spatula).
- Work in batches - do not overfill the pan and grease as needed.
- Prepare the aioli by mixing the mayonnaise and minced garlic.
- Serve the patties with aioli and low-carb sides or salads such as my Paleo Spinach Tabbouleh, Low-Carb CousCous or Quick & Easy Guacamole.
- To store, let them cool down and refrigerate for up to 3 days - or freeze for up to 3 months.
