How Air Fryer Frozen Salmon Burgers

Cooking salmon burgers from frozen has never been easier. If you have been looking for an easy way to cook your frozen patties, for busy weeknights, this is one of the best ways and is such an easy recipe. And it’s a great twist on a traditional burger, that the whole family will love!

Here are the easy cooking instructions:

Step One: Preheating

For best results preheat your air fryer for 3-5 minutes at 380 degrees F, using the air fryer setting.

Step Two: Add Your Frozen Salmon Patties

Place a single layer of frozen salmon burgers in the bottom of the air fryer basket – to avoid overcrowding. Cook for 8-10 minutes, flipping after 5 minutes to ensure even cooking on both sides. Check that your burgers are cooked through and golden brown before serving them with your favorite toppings or condiments!

Best Time & Temperature To Air Fry Frozen Salmon Burgers

For the best results, use an air fryer to cook your frozen salmon burgers at 380 degrees Fahrenheit for 8-10 minutes. When flipping the burgers halfway through cooking, make sure to check them for evenness – you want both sides to turn golden brown. To ensure that your burgers are cooked through, check the internal temperature with a meat thermometer (it should reach 165 °F). Serve and enjoy!

Remember every air fryer cooks a little different, the cooking time will vary, by the thickness of the salmon patty and the air fryer you are using, so check on your frozen burger frequently, as they cook up.

Storing, Freezing & Reheating

• Storing: Let the salmon patties cool to room temperature and then place them into an airtight container. They will last in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.
• Freezing: For best results only cook how many frozen salmon patties, you want to eat. It is not recommended to re-freeze frozen foods after they have been cooked.
• Reheating: Reheating leftover salmon burgers in the air fryer is a great option. Place them into the air fryer basket and brush them with olive oil, set the temperature to 350 degrees F, and set the cooking time for 3-5 minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between salmon burgers and salmon patties?

Salmon burgers and salmon patties are both made with ground salmon, but they have different textures. Salmon patties are typically a bit denser and more compact than burgers since they’re often formed into discs or patties before cooking. Burgers also often include other ingredients like breadcrumbs, herbs, and spices to give them flavor and binding ability. The shape of the burger makes them easier to air fry than the compact patties.

Should I add any additional oil to when using my air fryer?

I usually add a thin layer of olive, to help them reach the golden brown color. But you really don’t need it. No additional oil is needed when air frying frozen salmon burgers. The burgers themselves should provide enough fat for a flavorful and juicy burger. If you’d like to add more flavor, you can brush the top of the salmon burger with some melted butter or olive oil before cooking.\

What temperature do you air fry frozen burgers at?

To air fry frozen salmon burgers, you should set the temperature to 380F and set the cook time for 10-15 minutes, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F, check the temperature with an instant-read thermometer. Be sure to turn them over halfway through the cooking time in order to ensure even cooking.

The hot air really makes a quick and delicious air fryer salmon patties!

What to serve with salmon burgers

Salmon burgers pair perfectly with a variety of side dishes, such as roasted potatoes and vegetables, zucchini noodles, or a fresh and tangy coleslaw. You can also serve them with a classic bun or burger-style bread for a delicious sandwich.

Are air-fried salmon burgers healthy?

Air-fried salmon burgers are a healthy and nutritious meal option. They provide beneficial nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals that can help promote good health. Additionally, air frying means that you don’t need to use any oil or butter in the cooking process, making them significantly lower in fat than traditional fried foods.

Do I need to preheat my air fryer?

For most frozen foods, you do not want to preheat your air fryer, since it will make your frozen foods soggy, but for air fryer salmon patties, preheat your air fryer for a couple of minutes, this will help give you the delicious taste of fresh salmon.

Dipping Sauces For Salmon Patties

There are many delicious dipping sauces that pair well with salmon patties. Some popular options include tartar sauce, garlic yogurt, honey mustard, and Greek tzatziki. Lemon aioli is another great option that provides a zesty kick and pairs beautifully with the salmon. You could also try making your own homemade dipping sauce using ingredients like mayonnaise or Greek yogurt combined with herbs, spices, and other condiments of your choice.

Can I add aluminum foil to my air fryer?

I tend not to use aluminum foil in my air fryer, but a lot of people do. My fear is that the foil will heat the heating element and cause a fire or damage the heating element. I would recommend using parchment paper to line your air fryer basket and help your clean up.
