Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 15 ounce can wild caught salmon (skinless and boneless)
- 2 eggs
- 2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt (dairy free or regular)
- 1/2 cup gluten free breadcrumbs (substitute regular if not GF)
- Juice from 1/2 lemon
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons fresh chopped parsley
- 2 tablespoons fresh chopped chives
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- Olive oil spray for cooking
Instructions
- Drain Salmon: Drain off the liquid from the can of salmon and add the salmon to a bowl.
- Mash Salmon: Use a fork to roughly mash the salmon into smaller pieces.
- Add Remaining Ingredients: Add the eggs, plain Greek yogurt, gluten free breadcrumbs, lemon juice, minced garlic, fresh parsley, chives, salt, black pepper, paprika, and onion powder to the mashed salmon.
- Mix Ingredients: Mix all ingredients together thoroughly with a fork until well combined.
- Form Patties: Using a 1/3 cup measuring cup, scoop the mixture and then shape it into balls with your hands. Flatten each ball slightly into a disc-shaped patty.
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 390°F (approximately 200°C).
- Prepare Patties for Air Frying: Place the patties into the air fryer basket and lightly spray the tops of each patty with olive oil spray.
- Air Fry Patties: Cook the patties in the preheated air fryer for 7 to 8 minutes, or until they are lightly golden brown and crispy. Since the salmon is already cooked, this step is to crisp the outside.
- Serve: Remove the salmon patties from the air fryer and serve hot, ideally with lemon tahini dressing or your preferred sauce.

- Using canned salmon makes for an easy and quick preparation since the fish is already cooked.
- For a gluten free version, ensure to use gluten free breadcrumbs.
- You can substitute Greek yogurt with any dairy-free yogurt if desired.
- Olive oil spray ensures crispiness without adding too much oil.
