Directions

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F. 

  2. Whisk the eggs in the bottom of a large bowl and add the salmon, Old Bay Seasoning and 1/4 tsp. black pepper. Fold in the bell pepper and scallions.  

  3. Line the bottom of the air fryer basket with parchment paper, then drop ¼ cup scoops of salmon mixture into the basket, allowing 2 inches space between patties. Note that you may need to work in batches, depending on the size of your air fryer. Cook bites until crisp and golden, about 5 minutes per side. 

  4. Combine the Greek yogurt, lemon zest, lemon juice, and 1/8 tsp. black pepper in a separate bowl. Enjoy as a dipping sauce with the salmon veggie egg bites.

     

    Note: The USDA recommends cooking eggs dishes to 160°F.

Tips

Before making the recipes, read your air fryer manual to make sure parchment can be used. Cut your parchment to fit the bottom of the air fryer basket, without excessive overhang. 

To ensure food safety, eggs should be cooked until both the yolk and the white are firm. Consuming raw or undercooked eggs may increase your risk of foodborne illness, especially for those with certain medical conditions. For recipes that call for eggs that are raw or undercooked when the dish is served, use either pasteurized shell eggs that have been treated to destroy Salmonella, or use pasteurized egg products.
