  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 3 tbsp Japanese mayonnaise

INSTRUCTIONS

Preparation

1

For the salmon: If you buy a fresh skinless salmon fillet, then first rinse it with clean water, pat dry, then cut it into small pieces for easier grinding.

Cooking

1

Grind the salmon: Place 12 oz salmon in a food processor and grind until it reaches a smooth consistency.

2

Mix the salmon with other ingredients: To a mixing bowl, add the ground salmon with 1/4 cup plain panko breadcrumbs, 1/2 tsp paprika, 1/2 tsp pepper, 1/2 tsp cajun seasoning, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 2 tbsp parsley, 1/4 cup cilantro, and 1 medium egg. Stir to combine.

3

Make the patties: Use your hand to shape the patties (this recipe calls for 8 patties for 4 servings).

4

Air fry the patties: Place the patties into the air fryer. Spread a layer of olive oil on the patties’ surface, then set the temperature at 375 °F and cook for 10 minutes.

5

Make the sauce: While waiting for the patties to cook, add 3 tbsp mayonnaise and 2 tbsp Heinz's ketchup to a bowl, then mix well.

6

Garnish and serve: Transfer the salmon patties to a serving plate, then drizzle with the sauce before serving.
