1. Can I use leftover fresh salmon instead of canned?

Yes! Fresh salmon works great just cook, flake, and cool it before using. It's a delicious variation on the classic.

2. How do I make this gluten-free?

Replace breadcrumbs with crushed gluten-free crackers or almond flour. Also, ensure your Worcestershire sauce is labeled gluten-free.

Too much moisture or not enough binding. Add extra breadcrumbs and let the mixture chill before shaping.

Absolutely. Air fry at 375°F for 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway. Lightly spray for golden color.

Refrigerate for 3 days or freeze up to 3 months. Reheat in skillet or air fryer for best texture.
