Simple Salmon Cakes Recipe
Salmon cakes are so simple and easy to make! And thanks to my air fryer, I can make them with no oils and still have the delicious taste.
An air fryer had been on my list of gadgets to get for quite some time. I’d seen so many yummy and healthier versions of my favorite recipes circulating around social media. So I was super excited to win one from Hamilton Beach at this year’s Mom 2.0 Summit in Austin, TX. I have definitely been putting my Hamilton Beach Air Fryer (affiliate link) to good use.

During the warmer months I am #TeamNoOven as much as possible. Thanks to tools like my InstaPot, CrockPot and, now, Air Fryer – it is easier than ever to cook a healthy and fulfilling meal for my family without the use of my oven.
Simple Air Fryer Salmon Cakes
For salmon cakes on the stove, my go-to recipe is from my friend Natasha over at Houseful of Nicholes. Her salmon croquettes and rice recipe is the bestest!
Between her recipe and my Daddy’s, I was able to perfect a recipe that came out just the way I loved them using my air fryer.
These can be paired with so many side dishes or even enjoyed on their own as a snack. We prefer to eat them with grits and eggs. It’s the Southerner in me, y’all!

So just what is an air fryer and why would you want one?
Don’t let the “fryer” term fool you. An air fryer can fry, grill, bake, and roast! Many first-time purchasers get one to cut back on the fatty oils used when frying foods.
Air fryers can help you create low-fat meals with easy clean-up. They use hot-air circulation to cook your food from all angles – and with no oils. The benefit? Healthier meals in less time with less mess to clean up.
