Air fryer keto salmon patties. I had a can of salmon and I needed something to do with it. That’s how I came up with this salmon patty recipe. It’s super easy and you can make it in your air fryer!
Using pork rinds instead of breadcrumbs makes the outside of salmon cakes crispy and the inside tender. You can prepare them in advance and store them in the freezer until you’re ready to eat them.
Air Fryer Salmon cakes are a healthy choice because they don’t have any gluten, are low in carbs, and are good for the keto diet.
Crush The Pork Rinds
Set your air fryer to 360 degrees F. Put 2 ounces of pork rinds in a plastic bag. Use a bowl or rolling pin to smash them until they’re broken into small pieces.
You can mix in some bigger pieces, too. This will give extra crunch to the salmon patties. Put the crushed rinds in a bowl.
Mix All Ingredients:
Mix together the ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Take out any bones and skin from the canned salmon before you start. Add Parmesan cheese, mayonnaise, an egg, some chives, a bit of dill, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
Make Salmon Patties
Split the mixture into four equal parts. Firmly shape each part into a patty about one inch thick. Put each patty in a bowl of pork rinds.
Push down firmly so the pork rinds stick to all sides of the patty. Do this for the other side too. Now your patties are ready to cook!
Fry the Patties
Put the salmon patties in an air fryer basket. Spray the top of them with a cooking spray made with olive oil. Cook them for 5 minutes, then flip them over and spray the other side with olive oil spray.
Keep cooking for another 5 minutes, or until they are golden brown and hot all the way through.
Put your leftovers in a container with a tight lid and store them in the fridge. You can keep the food in there for up to three days.
