Crispy Air Fryer Salmon Burger That’s Healthy and Delicious
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb Salmon (fresh or canned)
- 2 tbsp Capers (drained)
- 1 tsp Onion Powder
- 1/2 tsp Black Pepper (freshly ground)
- 1 tsp Garlic Powder
- 2 tbsp Chives (chopped)
- 2 tbsp Parsley (chopped)
- 1/2 cup Bread Crumbs (gluten-free if needed)
- 2 tbsp Lemon Juice (freshly squeezed)
- 6 pieces Burger Buns (whole-grain or gluten-free)
- 1 tbsp Dijon Mustard
- 1 cup Tomatoes (sliced)
- 1 cup Lettuce (shredded)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the salmon, capers, onion powder, black pepper, garlic powder, chives, parsley, and bread crumbs. Use a fork to gently incorporate all the ingredients until blended.
- Divide the salmon mixture into six equal portions and shape them into compact patties, about ¾ inch thick.
- Place the formed patties onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for about 1 hour to firm up.
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (204°C).
- Carefully place the frozen patties in the air fryer basket and lightly coat the tops with cooking spray. Air fry for 10 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Spread Dijon mustard on each burger bun, add the cooked salmon patty, and layer with fresh tomato slices and shredded lettuce.
- Serve your warm salmon burgers immediately, ideally alongside crispy sweet potato fries.
Notes
- Use fresh salmon for best results.
- Adjust seasoning to taste.
