Salmon Croquettes (Air Fryer)

airfryer-salmoncroquettesThese salmon patties cooked in an air fryer are easy to make. They are just as tasty as pan-fried but are grease-free and oil-free, all thanks to an air fryer.

1 (14.5 oz) can salmon, drained and flaked
¾ cup panko breadcrumbs
½ cup onion, diced
⅓ cup mayonnaise
1 large egg, beaten
½ lemon, freshly juiced
1 tsp. dried dill weed
1 tsp. seafood seasoning, such as Old Bay
sea salt
black pepper, freshly ground
avocado oil nonstick cooking spray

Combine salmon, panko, onions, mayonnaise, beaten egg, lemon juice, dill, seafood seasoning, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Mix to combine and shape into 6 equal-sized patties.

Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Line the air fryer basket with parchment paper and spray with avocado oil.

Working in batches if needed, place salmon croquettes into the prepared basket and spray the tops with avocado oil.

Cook in the preheated air fryer until croquettes are golden brown, 8-10 minutes. Flip croquettes over, spray again with avocado oil and cook for 4-7 more minutes.

Makes 3 servings, or 6 croquettes.
