Notes
- Use fresh salmon: Fresh, raw Atlantic or sockeye salmon gives the best texture and flavor. Canned or pre-cooked salmon won’t produce the same juicy burgers.
- Prevent sticking: Lightly spray the air fryer basket before adding the patties so they release easily.
- Cook evenly: Form patties the same size and cook them in a single layer so they brown evenly. Work in batches if needed.
