Frequently asked questions about cooking Salmon Fish Cakes

How long to cook salmon fish cakes in air fryer?

You can achieve perfectly crispy and fluffy Salmon Fish Cakes in the air fryer – pop them in for 8-12 minutes and be sure to flip each one to ensure they’re cooked through and crispy all over. Quick and crispy!

What to serve with salmon fish cakes?

In addition to a creamy tartare sauce, fresh and zesty salads work well as a side to your Salmon Fish Cakes.

Can you freeze salmon fish cakes?

Salmon Fish Cakes store well in the freezer. For the best results, lay a sheet of baking paper on a tray and place them on the tray. Once the fish cakes have frozen solid, transfer them to an airtight container, with a baking sheet between each layer of fish cake. Be sure to thaw your Salmon Fish Cakes entirely before reheating to allow for them to be cooked completely through the middle.
