Air Fryer Salmon Cakes serve crisp, flaky patties using a fraction of the oil. All the taste with less grease and calories. One of several delicious ways to use your Air Fryer from #OurFamilyTable.

One of my favorite quick meals is crab patties. A little lemon, mayo, egg, binder… but crab is a bit out of my price range right now.

That’s where pouch salmon comes in. Fully cooked with no skin or waste. If you compare it pound by pound it is a cheap way to get your seafood fix. You can use any cooked salmon for these cakes. Freeze and save any salmon leftover from meals for these too.

Moisture will vary so adjust the recipe as needed. I also flip the patties halfway through cooking so both sides brown evenly.
