Notes
- For this recipe, the commonly available canned pink salmon is perfectly suitable.
- I use peanut oil for any type of frying. You can use canola or vegetable oil if you like. I don't recommend olive oil because of its low smoking point.
- To make salmon croquettes in the air fryer, first freeze the croquettes for about 30 minutes. Then preheat the fryer to 400 degrees. Spray the basket with oil. Place the patties in a single layer and cook for about 6 minutes. Flip, spray the basket again and continue cooking for another 4 minutes.
