Ingredients

14.5 oz can of Wild Caught Alaskan salmon , drained, bones and skin removed
1 cup of Italian bread crumbs separated
1 large egg lightly beaten
¼ cup diced sweet onion
½ cup diced red bell pepper
½ teaspoon minced garlic
2 Tablespoon mayonnaise
2 Tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoon mustard
¼ teaspoon celery salt
Oil for spraying

Instructions

In a bowl, combine salmon, ½ cup bread crumbs, egg, sweet onion, red bell pepper, garlic, mayonnaise, lemon juice, mustard, and celery salt.
Form mixture into 6 patties and place in the freezer for 15-20 minutes.
Preheat the air fryer to 370 Fahrenheit.
Spread the remaining ½ cup of breadcrumbs in a shallow dish. Remove the patties from the freezer and coat patties in the breadcrumbs.
Place in the preheated air fryer basket and cook for 11-13 minutes, flipping and spraying with oil halfway. Serve and enjoy.

Notes

Make them gluten-free by using GF breadcrumbs.
Be sure to freeze the patties before breading them or they can fall apart.
You can serve these without removing the bones if you prefer. You could also use three 5 oz cans of skinless, boneless, Wild Caught pink salmon.
Leftovers will keep well for up to 4 days in the fridge and can be reheated in the air fryer at 360F for 4 minutes.
To pan-fry, follow the directions but pan fry the patties in an oiled pan over medium-high heat until browned, about 3-4 minutes each side.
