Salmon Egg Rolls Ingredients

- Green Onions: to garnish.
How To Make Spicy Salmon and Rice Egg Rolls
- Prepare the salmon filling. In a large bowl, break up the cooked salmon into small pieces with the help of a fork and discard the skin part. Add the cooked rice, mayonnaise, sriracha and soy sauce. Mix it until well combined.
- Prepare the egg rolls. To make the egg rolls, arrange 2-3 thinly sliced avocados in the center of the egg roll wrapper. Top it with about 2 tablespoons of the prepared salmon rice mixture. Wet the edges of the egg roll wrapper with water and fold the opposite corners to the center and roll the egg roll tightly and seal the end. Repeat the same with the remaining.
- Prepare the equipment. Meanwhile, preheat the air fryer at 390 degrees F for 5 minutes.
- Make the airfried egg rolls. Brush the egg rolls with oil and air fry them for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through until golden.
- Garnish and serve. Once done, garnish the egg rolls with green onions and serve with a dip on the side.
Tips To Make Airfried Egg Rolls
- Not a fan of salmon? Use tuna instead to make this seafood egg roll recipe.

- Add a sheet of roasted seaweed to each airfried egg roll if desired.
- Keep the egg roll wrappers covered with a damp towel to prevent them from drying out.
- Allow the egg rolls to cool for a few minutes before serving. The filling will be very hot.

Frequently Asked Questions
While baking is my least favorite method for cooking egg rolls, it can be done. Brush the egg rolls with oil on both sides. Place the egg rolls on a sheet pan lined that has been lined with foil or on a sheet pan with a baking rack. Brush both sides of the eggroll with oil. Bake at 400 degrees F for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown. Flip the eggrolls halfway through cooking and brush with additional oil as needed.
When you make salmon at home, it’s easy to make an extra filet or two to use in this recipe. However, you can easily substitute canned salmon when fresh salmon isn’t available. The final results will be just as delicious.
Egg rolls are perfect for making ahead. Prepare the filling up to 24 hours in advance, then roll and air fry just before serving. To store these egg rolls longer, freeze them until you are ready to air fry them.
Store the spicy salmon and rice egg rolls in an airtight container in the fridge for up to several days. To reheat, add the eggrolls to a 400 degrees F air fryer for 4-5 minutes or until heated through, flipping halfway through the cooking time.
Yes! Assemble the egg rolls and freeze them before air frying. You can lay them on a baking sheet and flash freeze them before placing them in a freezer bag. To cook them, add them directly from the freezer to the air fryer and cook as directed. You will likely need to add 1-2 minutes to the cooking time.
These salmon egg rolls make a great appetizer when serving your favorite Asian dishes like Sweet and Spicy Asian Chicken, Crispy Honey Sesame Chicken and Panda Express Honey Walnut Shrimp.
