Ingredients:

  • oz cooked salmon, flaked (skinless and boneless)
  • /2 cup Panko breadcrumbs
  • large egg, lightly beaten
  • Tablespoons Mayonnaise
  • Tablespoon Dijon Mustard
  • Tablespoon Fresh Lemon Juice
  • Tablespoon fresh Dill, chopped
  • Teaspoon fresh Chives, minced
  • /2 Teaspoon Salt
  • /4 Teaspoon Black Pepper, freshly ground
  • Cooking Spray (Olive or Avocado Oil)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the salmon by placing the flaked salmon into a large mixing bowl. If using canned salmon, ensure it is well-drained.
  2. Add the beaten egg, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, dill, chives, salt, and pepper to the bowl. Mix gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  3. Sprinkle the Panko breadcrumbs over the mixture and fold lightly until the breadcrumbs are incorporated and the mixture can hold its shape.
  4. Divide the mixture into 6 equal portions. Lightly wet your hands and shape each portion into a compact patty, about 1 inch thick. Place the patties on a baking sheet.
  5. Optional but recommended: Cover the patties and refrigerate for 15 minutes to firm them up.
  6. Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (195°C) for 3-5 minutes. Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray.
  7. Place the patties in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring space between them. Spray the tops generously with cooking spray—this is crucial for crispiness.
  8. Air fry for 8 to 12 minutes total. Carefully flip the patties halfway through cooking (around the 5-minute mark) and spray the second side lightly again.
  9. The Air Fryer Salmon Patties are done when they are deep golden brown and heated through. Remove immediately and serve hot.
