Ingredients
14 ounces canned salmon, drained and flaked
1/2 cup plain breadcrumbs
1/4 cup finely chopped yellow onion
1/4 cup finely chopped celery
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 large egg, beaten
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the flaked salmon, breadcrumbs, chopped onion, chopped celery, mayonnaise, beaten egg, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and chopped parsley.
Mix all ingredients thoroughly until well combined and the mixture holds together when pressed.
Form the mixture into 8 evenly sized patties, about 3 inches in diameter and 1/2 inch thick.
Brush both sides of each salmon cake lightly with olive oil to help with browning.
Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3 minutes.
Place salmon cakes in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they do not touch. You may need to cook in batches.
Air fry the salmon cakes for 6 minutes, then carefully flip each cake and cook for an additional 6 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the salmon cakes from the air fryer and let them rest for 2 minutes before serving.
