Air-Fryer Salmon Cakes

Yum

These were so good! I used a Key West Seafood seasoning blend instead of dill, which I think is part of the reason they were so yummy. But I also loved how easy these were! Using the air fryer makes this such a quick and tasty dinner. Love that EW is doing air fryer recipes!

Let me first say that my mom used to make salmon patties when I was younger and I HATED those nights! My dad requested them though, and I recently bought an air fryer, so I found this recipe. Super easy and quick recipe to make. I used a can of red salmon that was 14.75 ounces. Also, I rehydrated minced onions and added them in and didn’t use dill as I didn’t have it. Those were the only substitutions I made. Oh, and I flipped them with 4 minutes left so they got nice and brown on both sides instead of just the top. These were delicious! However, they were dry (which I feel is typical of salmon patties). Next time, I’d either add more mayo and/or mustard, add another egg, or cook for maybe 10 minutes instead of 12. Overall, my dad loved them, and my mom and I liked them. But I’ll definitely be making this recipe again!

I used the whole can of salmon (bones and skin) put the whole can of salmon in a bowl and I took a potato masher and mashed it all up together. The bones and skin will crush up in the meat and its nutritional for you. You can’t tell it’s in the meat once it’s cooked. I used to separate that stuff and it just took way to long and it to nutrition out of the salmon patty.
