Ingredients
Scale
Salmon Patties
- 2 (6 oz) cans salmon, drained and flaked
- ½ cup breadcrumbs (plus more for coating)
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 green onions, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the flaked salmon, breadcrumbs, egg, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, green onions, parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until fully combined.
- Form Patties: Shape the salmon mixture into 6 to 8 equal-sized patties. Lightly coat each patty with additional breadcrumbs to enhance crispiness.
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3 to 5 minutes.
- Prepare Basket: Spray the air fryer basket with olive oil spray and arrange the patties in a single layer, ensuring there is space between each one. Lightly spray the tops of the patties with olive oil.
- Air Fry: Cook the patties for 8 to 10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
- Serve: Remove patties from the air fryer and serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce or a side salad.
Notes
- Fresh cooked salmon can be used instead of canned—just flake it well before mixing.
- Add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dash of hot sauce to the mixture for extra flavor.
- For gluten-free patties, substitute regular breadcrumbs with gluten-free breadcrumbs.
