These Air Fryer Salmon Patties are great for using leftover salmon or canned salmon and turning it into something delicious.

Air Fryer Salmon Patties Ingredients

Eggs: Two large eggs act as a binder.
Onion: Chop a quarter cup of red onion.
Dill: You could also use fresh chives.
Mayonnaise: Use any kind of mayo – Sir Kensington’s is my favorite.
Mustard: Stir in two teaspoons of Dijon.
Old Bay Seasoning: If you don’t have Old Bay, substitute it with paprika, salt, and garlic powder.
Salmon: Fresh or canned salmon works for these patties. You’ll need one pound of fresh, skinless salmon or two six-ounce cans.
Panko: Buy gluten-free panko if you’re gluten-free.

How to Make Air Fryer Salmon Patties

Prep the Air Fryer: Place a piece of air fryer parchment paper in the basket or spray it with oil.
Fish Mixture: Combine the eggs, onion, dill, mayo, mustard, and Old Bay in a medium bowl. Mix in the salmon and panko. Freeze it for 10 minutes, which helps prevent it from falling apart. If the mixture is still too wet, add another tablespoon of panko.
Air Fry: Form the fish into 6 cakes and transfer them to the air fryer basket. Air fry the salmon patties at 400°F for eight to 10 minutes, flipping halfway until golden brown.
No Air Fryer? Follow the directions for my Baked Salmon Cakes if you’d rather bake them in the oven.
