Ingredients

• Fresh fish fillets (like salmon or mackerel) - 200 grams

• Coriander powder - 1 teaspoon
• Cumin powder - 1 teaspoon
• Turmeric powder - 1/2 teaspoon

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, finely chop the fish fillets and combine with almond flour, egg, coriander powder, cumin powder, turmeric powder, red chili powder, salt, black pepper, and chopped cilantro. Mix well until combined.
2. Shape the mixture into two patties, ensuring they are compact.
