Lightly brush each patty with olive oil and place into the air fryer basket, leaving space between each one. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to cook them in batches. If you don’t have an airfryer, you can sauté the salmon cakes on a skillet over medium heat for 3-4 minutes on both sides until golden brown.1 tbsp olive oil

Cooking Tips
- Forming Patties: Make sure to press the salmon mixture firmly into patties to help them hold together during cooking. If the mixture feels too wet, you can add a little more almond flour to absorb excess moisture.
- Air Fryer Cooking: To ensure even cooking and a crispy exterior, avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket. Cooking in batches may be necessary depending on the size of your air fryer.
- Serving Suggestions: While lemon wedges and Greek yogurt are suggested garnishes, these salmon cakes can also be served with a side salad or over a bed of greens for a complete meal.
