Main Ingredients

  • 8 ounces canned salmon (drained)
  • ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 green onion (minced)
  • ¼ cup small diced red pepper
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill (minced)
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • ⅓ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your air fryer to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained canned salmon, panko breadcrumbs, egg, minced green onion, diced red pepper, minced dill, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, and salt. Mix thoroughly until somewhat sticky and well-combined.
  • Shape the mixture into 4 equal patties, pressing firmly to ensure they hold their shape.

Cooking

  • Gently place the patties in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
  • Cook for about 8 minutes, flipping halfway through for an even golden color.

Notes

Consider adding lemon juice or zest for a refreshing twist. Spice it up with cayenne pepper or hot sauce. Pair with homemade tartar sauce for extra flavor. These patties can also be served on a bun as salmon burgers.
