If you're strictly counting calories and not trying to achieve a certain macro balance, then it's probably okay. But you mentioned John Berardi's principles, and he prefers dividing meals into protein+carb or protein+fat. Your salmon patty recipe combines all three, so that wouldn't make the cut. But all you'd have to do is eliminate the flour to make it protein+fat. They won't brown as nicely or have a crunchy crust, but they'll certainly cook up okay.
