Ingredients Needed
- 1 can (14 oz) of salmon, drained
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1/4 cup almond flour or crushed almonds
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cooking spray or olive oil for spraying
Step-by-Step Instructions
Start by preheating your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). In a large bowl, combine the drained salmon, chopped onion, dill, egg, Dijon mustard, almond flour, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Shape the mixture into 4-6 patties, depending on your desired size. Lightly spray the patties with cooking spray or brush with a little olive oil to promote browning.
Place the patties in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and cooked through.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these salmon patties with a fresh green salad, steamed vegetables, or a side of cauliflower rice. They also pair well with a dollop of Greek yogurt or a squeeze of lemon for added flavor.

This recipe is low in carbohydrates and rich in healthy omega-3 fats, which can help reduce inflammation and improve heart health—important considerations for people managing diabetes.
