Make quick and easy salmon patties in your air fryer for a crispy exterior and moist center. This recipe uses canned salmon for convenience.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (14.75 ounce) can salmon, drained and flaked
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs (use gluten-free if needed)
  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Pinch of black pepper
  • Cooking spray

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the drained salmon, egg, breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, parsley, garlic powder, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined; do not overmix.
  2. Form the mixture into 4 equal-sized patties, about 1 inch thick.
  3. Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Place the salmon patties in a single layer in the basket, ensuring they do not touch.
  4. Spray the tops of the patties lightly with cooking spray.
  5. Air fry at 380°F (195°C) for 8 minutes.
  6. Flip the patties carefully and spray the second side with cooking spray. Cook for an additional 4 to 6 minutes, or until golden brown and heated through.
  7. Remove from the air fryer and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, you can lightly dust the patties with a thin layer of flour or panko breadcrumbs before spraying with oil.
  • If you use cooked, leftover salmon instead of canned, you may need to add an extra tablespoon of mayonnaise or binder to keep the mixture moist.
  • Serve these patties on buns like burgers or alongside a fresh salad.
