Ingredients

  • Cooking spray
  • 2 7.5-ounce cans unsalted pink salmon (with skin and bones)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup whole-wheat panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh dill
  • 2 tbsp canola mayonnaise
  • 2 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 tsp ground pepper
  • 2 lemon wedges

Instructions

  1. Coat the basket of an air fryer with cooking spray.
  2. Drain salmon; remove and discard any large bones and skin. Place the salmon in a medium bowl. Add egg, panko, dill, mayonnaise, mustard and pepper; stir gently until combined. Shape the mixture into 4 3-inch-diameter cakes.
  3. Coat the cakes with cooking spray; place them in the prepared basket. Cook at 400°F until browned and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest portion registers 160°F, about 12 minutes. Serve with lemon wedges.
