Three Air Fryer Southern Salmon Patties on a plate with salad.

Air Fryer Southern Salmon Patties

Air Fryer Southern Salmon Patties get wonderfully crispy in the air fryer and are seasoned with just a little green onion, lemon zest, parsley, and Old Bay so that the flavor of the salmon is front and center. Made with canned salmon, these salmon cakes are so tasty!
