Croquettes vs Patties
Salmon croquettes are typically smaller, more cylindrical or oval shaped, and have a crispier breaded exterior.Patties are usually larger and flatter. Both work great in the air fryer.
Getting Them Extra Crispy
The air fryer excels at croquettes because the hot circulating air crisps all sides. For best results, use the same crispy technique - spray with avocado oil and don't skip flipping halfway through.
