AIR FRYER CRISPY SALMON CAKES (with pan-frying instructions)

These Salmon cakes caught me by surprise. They were incredibly moist, yet crispy from the panko. Never in a million years did I think I would cook with canned salmon, but you know what? It's cheap, easy, and I decided to try it.

After reading a lot of feedback on Air Frying forums about dry Salmon Patties, I decided to switch the bread crumbs for panko. It absorbs less of the moisture while giving it that really satisfying crunch. I did add in some mayo and oil (not much but a little helps a lot).

I'm not going to lie, breaking down and separating the bones and skin from the Salmon wasn't the most fun kitchen job I've ever done. I think that I'll have to get used to it though, because these were totally the bomb. They are like a crab cakes that costs a fraction of the money.

I recently switched to using a non-propellant cooking oil spray for the air fryer. I will go between this and just brushing on avocado oil if it's already a really low fat recipe. This one from costco works great!

These crispy and moist Salmon Cakes get their crunch from Panko. Easy and inexpensive to make, they are a great appetizer or meal prep!

ingredients:

For the Salmon Cakes

1 can of Salmon (14.75 oz) bones and skin removed
1 Celery Stalk, finely diced
1 Egg, beaten
1 C Panko
4 TB light Mayonnaise
1 TB Oil, I use Avocado or Olive Oil
1/2 tsp Old Bay Seasoning
2 TB fresh chopped Parsley
1 tsp Dill, finely minced (or from the squeeze tube)
1 tsp Worcestershire Sauce
1/2 tsp Smoked Paprika
1/2 tsp Onion Powder
1/2 tsp Black Pepper
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
(NOTE: you can use two beaten eggs and skip the mayo. This will still hold the cakes together but I find it not to be as moist.)

Smokey Remoulade Sauce (Mix all together)

3 TB Light Mayonnaise
1 tsp Dijon Mustard
2 tsp Relish
2 tsp Ketchup
1 tsp fresh Dill, finely minced
1 tsp Lemon Juice
