Baked Salmon Burgers

This recipe features freshly chopped salmon transformed into burger patties by mixing in stone ground mustard, avocado oil, smoked paprika, and sea salt. The salmon used is skinless and cut into chunks, then processed into a thick paste that holds together once shaped into patties.

The patties are baked at a high temperature on parchment-lined sheet trays, ensuring even cooking and a slightly firm exterior without frying. Flipping halfway through achieves uniform doneness. The seasoning is restrained and aromatic, highlighting the salmon’s natural flavors enhanced by mustard’s tang and paprika’s mild smoky warmth.

Once cooked, the salmon burgers can be served with a variety of toppings. Suggested accompaniments include butter lettuce buns, heirloom tomato slices, mustard, red onion, and mashed avocado, creating a fresh and balanced bite with varied texture and flavor. This makes an appealing main dish for a lunch or casual dinner.
