Ingredients
- 3 cups cooked flaked salmon
- 1 1/2 cups seasoned breadcrumbs divided
- 2-3 chopped green onions
- 1 stalk celery diced
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- Juice of one lemon
- Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the salmon, 1/2 cup of the breadcrumbs, green onions, celery, garlic, dill, Old Bay seasoning and salt and pepper. Toss gently to combine.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, egg yolk, Dijon mustard and lemon juice. Add to salmon mixture and stir gently to combine.
- Shape salmon into 6-8 patties, about 1-inch thick. Place the remaning breadcrumbs in a shallow dish. Add patties to breadcrumbs and turn to coat all sides. Refrigerate salmon patties for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours.
- Preheat air-fryer to 375 degrees. Spray both sides of the salmon patties with non-stick cooking spray. Cook in batches for 10-12 minutes, turning once halfway through cooking time. Serve with lemon wedges or tarta sauce.
- Alternately, you can fry the salmon cakes in a skillet over medium heat using a few tablespoons of vegetable oil, cooking for about 2 minutes per side, or until golden brown.
