Description
Crispy, golden salmon patties baked to perfection in an air fryer. Flaky salmon, fresh dill, and lemon unite in a healthy, quick meal ready in under 22 minutes. Ideal for busy weeknights or spontaneous cooking.
Ingredients
14.75 ounce (417g) canned salmon (pink, drained), 1 large egg (room temperature), 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1/3 cup panko breadcrumbs, 1 tablespoon fresh dill (chopped), 1 teaspoon lemon zest, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Drain canned salmon and flake with a fork.
In a bowl, combine salmon, egg, mayonnaise, panko, dill, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
Form mixture into 8 (4-ounce) patties.
Place in air fryer, spaced apart for even air circulation.
Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 10 minutes. Flip patties, then air fry for 8-10 more minutes until golden and crisp.
Let rest 2-3 minutes before serving.
Notes
Use a fork to flake salmon for a textured bite.
Substitute fresh lemon juice for bottled for brighter flavor.
Freeze uncooked patties in an airtight container for up to 1 month; cook fresh from frozen, adding 2-3 minutes to cooking time.
Serve with lemon wedges, sourdough, or a sriracha mayo drizzle.
