Air Fryer Salmon Fish Cakes
The whole family will enjoy this easy recipe and it may remind some folks of classic salmon croquettes. Look for canned salmon that has less than 50 milligrams of sodium per serving for a health-conscious taste of goodness. They only take minutes to prepare. Salmon fish cakes make for a great appetizer or for a simple weeknight main dish for the whole family.
Equipment
- Measuring Cup
Ingredients
- 12 oz canned salmon drained
- 2 eggs
- ¼ cup mayo
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
- lemon zest
- ½ teaspoon dried dill
- ¼ teaspoon dried parsley
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix together the salmon, eggs, mayo, salt, breadcrumbs, lemon zest and dill.
- Firmly pack the mixture into ½ cup measuring cup, then tap it out into the palm of your hand (if you do not have a measuring cup, you form your cakes in your palm like a hamburger patty).
- For each salmon cake, form a patty that is 1 inch thick (or a little less) equal thickness across the patty.
- Spray the basket with oil, then add salmon cakes into the basket (do not overcrowd the salmon cakes). Spray the tops of the salmon cakes at the outset and again when flipping with 4 minutes left.
- Cook for 8 minutes at 390°F, turning halfway and re-appying oil.
Notes
You can replace the dried dill or parsley with 2 tsp fresh dill/parsley.
