Fresh Salmon Burgers in the Air Fryer
Description
Using fresh salmon and your air frying to cook salmon patties makes a huge difference in terms of flavor and greasiness. If made as directed, you don't even need an egg to combine.
Ingredients
•
1 pound fresh salmon
•
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
•
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
•
1 tablespoon lemon juice
•
3/4 cup panko bread crumbs
•
2 tablespoons chopped scallions
•
1/4 teaspoon crushed red chili flakes
•
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

nonstick cooking spray

Remove any skin and pin bones from salmon, then chop into 1/4-inch pieces. Transfer 1/4 of the salmon pieces to a food processor. Place remaining salmon in a large bowl.
2
Add mustard, mayonnaise, and lemon juice to the food processor. Pulse until a thick paste forms. Transfer mixture to the bowl with the remaining salmon. Mix in bread crumbs, scallions, and chili flakes until evenly combined.
3
Form salmon mixture into 4 patties. Place on a baking sheet and season with salt and pepper. Place in the freezer for 1 hour.
4
Preheat an air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Spray the air fryer basket with nonstick spray.
