The Perfect Texture
When it comes to making salmon cakes, the trickiest part is getting the right texture and consistency. This is why I adore making mine in the air fryer! All thanks to my nifty air frying machine, my salmon cakes are always baked to a perfected crisp!
Traditional salmon cakes are normally deep fried, which means having to use tons of oil. However, with the magic of the air fryer, only a fraction of the oil is required – making them a much healthier alternative!

How Do I Prevent My Salmon Cakes From Sticking to My Air Fryer?
These days, most air fryers are adequately equipped with non-stick baskets. Of course, depending on the recipe, oil can make a huge difference in ensuring that your food doesn’t stick to the bottom.
For my air fryer salmon cakes, be sure to spray and coat your basket with cooking oil. Once the patties are ready to go in for baking, spray the tops with cooking oil, too.
How Long Does it Take to Bake Air Fryer Salmon Cakes?
Lucky for you, this recipe doesn’t take long to bake! My air fryer salmon cakes only require 7 minutes of baking time. Just be sure to flip them half-way through!
Give Them Space!
Don’t forget that a vital part of air frying is to not overcrowd your food. Baking in an air fryer is most successful when your recipe is laid out in the basket in a single layer.
This recipe for salmon cakes yields in four patties, so you will have plenty of room in your air fryer basket to give them space and allow for adequate air circulation.
How Do I Store My Leftover Air Fryer Salmon Cakes?
If you have any leftover salmon cakes, be sure to store them in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to four days.
To enjoy leftovers, preheat your air fryer to 350°F, spray your basket, and bake for about 5-6 minutes.
