These Air Fryer Salmon Patties are great for using leftover salmon or canned salmon and turning it into something delicious.
How do you keep salmon patties from falling apart?
When making salmon patties, you need binders, like panko and eggs, to keep the fish together. I also recommend freezing the salmon mixture for 10 minutes to help it hold together. And if it’s too wet, you can always add a little extra panko.
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.
