# Step-by-Step Instructions:

01 - Spray the air fryer basket with olive oil nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
02 - In a large bowl, combine canned salmon, egg, mayonnaise, panko breadcrumbs, lemon juice, dried dill, onion powder, garlic powder, kosher salt, ground black pepper, and fresh parsley. Mix thoroughly until evenly blended.
03 - Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a patty.
04 - Place the patties in the air fryer basket, spray the tops lightly with cooking spray, and cook at 390°F for 10 to 12 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. No preheating required.
05 - Serve the salmon patties warm with fresh lemon wedges and tartar sauce on the side.

# Extra Tips:

01 - Use pink salmon for best flavor. Removing bones and skin improves texture. Olive oil spray prevents basket buildup. Regular breadcrumbs are a suitable substitute. Patties freeze well and pair with various dipping sauces.
