salmon burger recipe

Never have a dry salmon burger again! Thanks to a few simple tips, you can make super JUICY, flavor-packed salmon burgers every single time!

My salmon burgers recipe takes on a bit of a Mediterranean twist--fresh herbs, spices and a splash of lemon juice. Serve it with arugula, tomatoes and homemade Tzatziki sauce. Be sure to watch the video above.

Juicy Salmon Burgers, Mediterranean-style

lb skinless salmon fillet,

Dijon mustard

onions

parsley

tsp coriander

tsp ground sumac

½ tsp sweet paprika

tsp black pepper

Kosher Salt

bread crumbs

lemon

Homemade Tzatziki Sauce (find recipe here)

oz baby arugula (more

red onion, sliced

tomato, sliced into rounds

Place about 1/4 of the salmon in the bowl of a large food processor. Add mustard. Run processor until the mixture is pasty. Transfer to a bowl.

Place the rest of the salmon in the food processor, and pulse just a couple times until coarsely chopped into  ¼-inch pieces (do not over process this second batch of salmon, it should not get too fine or pasty, it should still have some texture.) Transfer to the same bowl.

Now add the minced green onions, parsley, and spices (coriander, sumac, paprika, black pepper). Season with kosher salt. Mix well until the mixture is combined. Cover and chill in the fridge for about 1/2 hour.

While the salmon chills, prepare the toppings. Make the Greek Tzatziki Sauce according to this recipe. Prepare the arugula, sliced tomatoes, and the remaining toppings and buns to serve.

When ready, take salmon mixture out of the fridge. Divide into 4 equal parts. Form into 1-inch think patties.

Place bread crumbs on a plate. Place each patty in the bread crumbs plate and press to coat on one side, turn over and press on the other side to coat. Place the breaded salmon patties on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper.

Cook salmon patties. Heat about 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering but not smoking. Lower each of the patties carefully and cook, for 2 to 4 minutes, turning over once, until lightly browned on both sides and medium-rare within), (adjust heat as necessary during cooking to keep things sizzling and cooking well but without scorching the bread crumbs.) (minimum internal temp should be 115 to 120°F on an instant-read thermometer for medium-rare.)

Set cooked salmon burgers onto paper towel to drain any excess oil; sprinkle lightly with Kosher salt if you like. Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice on top.

Assemble in prepared buns. Spread the buns with a bit of tzatziki sauce. Add the salmon, then layer on the arugula, tomato and onion slices…enjoy!

Really good and moist, though I did use high quality sockeye salmon, which I think probably makes a difference.   Good enough to eat without a bun, just with salad, asparagus and toasted naan brushed with evoo and garlic powder.  Thank you.

These were amazing. Thank you for the recipe.

Thank you so much for sharing this recipe! It was so juicy and flavorful. Instead of tzatziki I made a lemon garlic aioli with chives and dill - highly recommend.

Can you let me have the recipe for the lemon garlic aioli with chives and dill"?

I just bought a griddle top grill. Best thing l ever bought. I have never had a salmon burger so DELICIOUS. Thank you so much for this recipe. Crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. The salmon paste held them together perfectly???

Easy Salmon Burger Recipe

sockeye salmon (, drained)

lemon juice

dill

garlic powder

black pepper

panko breadcrumbs

hot sauce

Hamburger buns

brioche buns

lemon herb aioli

beefsteak tomato (, thickly

sprouts

pickled red onion

Drain the 15 ounces canned sockeye salmon well and add it to a medium size bowl, flake the salmon apart using a fork.

Add the 1 egg, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard and 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice to the salmon and mix with a fork to combine. Mash in the 1 teaspoon dried dill, 1 teaspoon garlic powder , ½ teaspoon coarse kosher salt  and ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper and 6 tablespoon panko breadcrumbs. If desired, also add a dash or two of hot sauce.

Form the salmon mixture into 4 equal balls and place on a piece of parchment or wax paper.

Using your hand, press into patties about ½ inch thick.

Let the salmon patties chill in the refrigerator for 10-20 minutes, this will help hold them together.

Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium high heat and add a bit of oil to coat the bottom.

Once the skillet it hot, carefully add the patties.  Cook for 5 minutes, then gently flip and cook 5 minutes more.

Remove from heat and serve on hamburger buns with your choice of toppings. We served ours on a brioche bun with lemon herb aioli, tomato, sprouts and red onion.

Perfect recipe with just the right amount of dill! I have to ask, where did you get those sprouts?! I love sprouts and can never find them anywhere! (so jealous!)

This looks so delicious and yummy! My daughter and I are going to love this! So excited to make these!

These salmon burgers were a hit last night! they were super easy to make. I had no idea I could make them with canned salmon. This would definitely be at our table very often.

Such a great idea to use canned salmon and so much easier on the budget. I love this fun twist on burger night.

These salmon burgers remind me of the ones my mom made when I was a kid! She always used canned sockeye salmon for the same reason. It's a lot less expensive, and she could store it in the pantry. These have great flavor and are so simple to make too!
