Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds salmon fillet diced
1 cup plain breadcrumbs
1 large egg
1 teaspoon Dijon Mustard
1 tablespoon oil
1/2 teaspoon fresh dill chopped
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon Creole seasoning
1 medium lemon optional

Instructions

Preheat your air fryer to 360 degrees F. You will want to brush the air fryer with oil in the basket or tray to prevent sticking.
In a food processor add half the diced up salmon. Then add in the mustard and chop it up, and then transfer to a bowl.
Next you will add the rest of the salmon, egg, and chop it up as well.
Now add all the salmon to one bowl with the breadcrumbs, dill, and salt and seasonings. Mix until the patties can be formed.
Place the salmon patties in the air fryer, leaving space between them. I made 6 patties.
Air fry for 10-12 minutes, and then flip over the salmon patties. If you make larger or smaller patties then you need to adjust the cook time.
Turn the salmon patties over and cook another 3-5 minutes. Make sure the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F.
Drizzle with lemon juice and serve and enjoy.

Notes

Canned Salmon - You can use canned salmon, just drain the salmon first from any liquid.

Seasoning - Change up the seasonings if you want. If you like things spicy reach for red pepper flakes.

Way to Serve - Serve over a bed of veggies, rice, or pair with your favorite dipping sauces. There are endless ways to eat this easy salmon patties.
