Ingredients
Salmon Cakes
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 1 Tablespoon butter
- ½ cup onion chopped
- ½ red bell pepper chopped
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 18 ounces salmon (3 6-oz cans) drained
- 1 Tablespoon lemon juice
- 1-2 stalks celery chopped fine
- ¼ cup fresh parsley chopped
- 3 Tablespoons Parmesan cheese grated
- 1 ½ teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ cup panko crumbs gluten-free panko crumbs or keto breadcrumbs can be substituted
- 2 large eggs whisked
Crumb Coating
- ½ cup panko crumbs gluten-free panko crumbs or keto breadcrumbs can be substituted
- ¼ cup parmesan cheese grated
- Nonstick spray
Instructions
- Heat oil and butter in a skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add onions, red bell pepper and garlic and sauté for 5-7 minutes.
- Pour sautéed vegetables into a large bowl. Add celery, parsley, and cheese.
- Open the canned salmon and drain well. Place the drained salmon in the bowl. Sprinkle lemon juice over salmon.
- Sprinkle in Old Bay seasoning, salt and pepper. Stir in panko crumbs.
- Add eggs until you can form the mixture into a nice patty. You can add an extra egg if needed but usually the salmon is moist enough that it’s not needed.
- Form into 6 patties and refrigerate them for 30-60 minutes or even overnight. This will make them easier to handle.
- Remove from refrigerator and coat with a mixture of panko crumbs and parmesan cheese.
- Preheat the air fryer to 390°F.
- Coat the air fryer basket with cooking oil spray. Place the patties in the air fryer basket with space between them, making sure not to overcrowd (you may have to air fry in batches). Spray the tops with cooking oil spray.
- Air Fry at 390°F for 4 minutes. Carefully turn the patties over and spray tops with cooking spray. Air fry for 4 minutes more. Remove and garnish with chopped parsley.
