Instructions
Mix ingredients together- in a large bowl, use a spatula to mix together the salmon (drained, mashed, and skin/bones removed if you’d like), eggs, mayo, salt, breadcrumbs, lemon zest and dill.
Measure out patties– using a ½ cup measuring cup, firmly pack the mixture into the cup, then tap it out into the palm of your hand.
Form patties- pat gently to form a patty that is no more than 1 inch thick and is of equal thickness across the patty.
Cook the patties- heat air fryer to 390°F. Spray the basket with oil, then add patties into the basket. Spray the tops of the salmon patties.
Cook for a total of 8 minutes. Spray a second time 1-2 minutes before the patties are cooked through.
See note 1 for differences between oven and basket air fryers.
Serve- top the patties with the serving suggestions, and enjoy!
