Ingredients:
- 1 can (14 oz) pink salmon, drained and flaked
- 1/2 cup whole wheat breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
- 1/4 cup finely chopped celery
- 1/4 cup light mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Cooking spray
Instructions:
Step 1 – Prep the Salmon Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flaked salmon, whole wheat breadcrumbs, chopped onion, chopped celery, light mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, fresh lemon juice, Old Bay seasoning, garlic powder, and black pepper. Gently fold the ingredients together until well combined.
Step 2 – Forming Patties: Divide the salmon mixture into equal portions, shaping each into a patty. This step ensures uniform cooking and a consistent texture. The air fryer will work its magic on these patties, creating a delightful crunch without excess oil.
Step 3 – Preparing the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). While the air fryer heats up, lightly spray the basket with cooking spray. This minimizes sticking and helps achieve that coveted golden-brown exterior.
Step 4 – Air Frying Perfection: Place the salmon patties in the preheated air fryer basket, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Cook for approximately 12-15 minutes, flipping the patties halfway through. This ensures even cooking and that irresistible crispiness.
Step 5 – Golden Perfection: Once the air fryer has worked its magic, carefully remove the salmon patties. They should boast a golden-brown hue, signifying the perfect blend of tenderness and crunch.
Useful Information: Enhance your salmon patty experience by serving with a side of mixed greens, a dollop of light tartar sauce, or a wedge of lemon for that extra burst of freshness.
