Broccoli, a nutrient-rich vegetable, adds a subtle earthy taste to the fritters, while the cheese brings a rich and creamy texture. These fritters are not only low in carbs but also packed with vitamins and minerals, making them an excellent choice for a keto breakfast.
Adding hot smoked salmon to the dish provides a delightful smoky flavour and a dose of heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids. The addition of tomatoes contributes a fresh and sweet element to the dish.
Finally, a sour yogurt drizzle adds a refreshing touch. Yogurt provides a creamy and slightly tangy flavour that complements the savoury components of the dish. Start your day off right with this flavourful and low-carb breakfast that will keep you energized and satisfied.
It is important to note that to maintain ketosis, it’s essential to track carbohydrate intake and ensure it aligns with your daily macro goals.

Broccoli Fritters with Hot-smoked Salmon and; Sour Yogurt
Per serving
Ingredients
For the broccoli fritters
- 250 g (8.8 oz) broccoli florets
- 60 g (2.1 oz) extra-strong, full-fat Cheddar cheese, finely grated
- 30 g (1 oz) Parmesan cheese, finely grated
- 2 large eggs, whisked
- salt and ground white pepper
To finish the dish
- 2 fillets of hot-smoked salmon, broken into smaller pieces
- 80 g (2.8 oz) sliced tomato, (from approx. 2 medium tomatoes)
- 100 g (3.5 oz) full-fat plain yogurt
- 2 tsp lemon juice
- sea salt flakes
- freshly ground black pepper
- generous handful fresh parsley, finely chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 160°C (fan oven). This is 180°C for conventional ovens (or 350°F / gas mark 4) and line a large baking tray with a silicone mat (or sheet of parchment paper).
- Blitz the broccoli florets in a mini food processor (food chopper) until you achieve a very fine crumb. I do this in two batches. Tip the broccoli into a bowl.
- Add the finely grated Cheddar and Parmesan cheese. Tip in the whisked egg and mix well to combine. Season the mixture generously with salt and ground white pepper.
- Form eight even-sized portions from the mixture and place onto the tray, leaving a little space between each. This gets a little messy, but once you have your portions on the tray, use your fingers and a small silicon spatula around the edges to neaten them up and 'compress' them tighter and flatter. The egg present will help bind them, but they need to be pretty compact to begin with.
- Bake on the lowest rack in the oven for 15 minutes. Then, reduce the oven to 140°C (fan oven). This is 160°C for conventional ovens (or 325°F / gas mark 3) and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes. Out of habit, I always rotate my tray halfway through to ensure even baking.
- In the meantime, break up the pieces of salmon (I always remove the skins and slip them to the pooches or eat them myself!) and slice the tomatoes.
- Combine the yogurt and lemon juice in a bowl and season with salt and ground white pepper.
- Serve two broccoli fritters per person, layering them up with two slices of tomato each. Top with the salmon and drizzle over the sour yogurt. Season with salt flakes (if needed) and plenty of freshly ground black pepper. Finish with scattered parsley. Yum!

Tried this delicious combination for dinner last night… it won’t be the last time! ordered some food portion scoops today (like mini ice cream scoops) to help with forming the fritters for future. Thanks Monya!!
Glad you enjoyed it! Great idea about a portion scoop! I should get myself one! xxxx
Drop me a line if you have any questions or comments about this recipe. I will do my best to reply as soon as possible! Monya xxx
I love all your recipes, but am finding it difficult to balance my diet as per your pie chart. Cant get protein down to 20% if I eat meat. What is the recommended daily g of fat for 11st woman to lose weight? Hope you can help. You are totally inspiring! Penny
Hi Penny, thanks for your message. Yes, this specific dish contains eggs and salmon (and cheese and yogurt!), so the protein will be higher. Regarding protein amounts for your specific body type I can’t really comment on as everyone is so different. I keep an eye on my protein, but have never used an app to track or calculate. Use the macros here to help you monitor your portion sizes. For example, you could have a little less salmon and only one fritter and this will reduce the protein if keeping protein under 20% (25g in this recipe’s case) is important to you. Many people follow a lazier keto and are only interested in keeping those carbs super low. I try and cater for everyone – and I truly believe you should do what works for you! xxx
