Air-Fryer Salmon Patties Tips

How can you tell when air-fryer salmon patties are done?

You can tell the air-fryer salmon patties are done when they’re golden in color, crispy on the outside and hold their shape. Since the salmon is already cooked, you just want to make sure the eggs are cooked through when taking a temperature. Eggs are done cooking at 160°F.

What can you serve with air-fryer salmon patties?

You can serve these air-fryer salmon patties on a bed of spring greens or arugula with some fresh lemon wedges. Sauces that pair deliciously with salmon patties include remoulade, dill dip, and garlic aioli (which also pairs nicely with spicy potatoes).

How do you store air-fryer salmon patties?

Store air-fryer salmon patties in the refrigerator in an airtight container after allowing them to cool. They’re best consumed the next day, but can last for 3 to 4 days.

How do you freeze air-fryer salmon patties?

If you want to freeze air-fryer salmon patties, place the raw salmon patties on a parchment-lined baking sheet and put them right in the freezer. Once they’re frozen, keep them in a sealed freezer bag.
