  • Make Sriracha mayo: Whisk together mayonnaise and Sriracha in a small bowl. Place 1 tablespoon Sriracha mayo in the bowl of a food processor and refrigerate the rest until ready to use.
  • Prepare salmon cakes: Add salmon, almond flour, egg, green onion, and 1 1/2 teaspoons seafood seasoning to Sriracha mayo in the bowl of a food processor; pulse quickly for 4 to 5 seconds until ingredients are just combined, but small chunks of salmon remain. (Do not overprocess as the mixture will become mushy.)
  • Line a plate with waxed paper and spray hands with cooking spray. Form salmon mixture into 8 small patties; transfer to the plate. Place in the refrigerator until chilled and firm, about 15 minutes.
  • Preheat the air fryer to 390 degrees F (200 degrees C). Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray.
  • Remove salmon cakes from refrigerator. Mist both sides with cooking spray and gently place in the air fryer basket, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
  • Cook in the preheated air fryer for 6 to 8 minutes. Place on a serving platter and serve with remaining Sriracha mayo and a light sprinkling of Old Bay seasoning.
