Classic Salmon Burgers

Fire up the grill and serve Classic Salmon Burgers to the whole family! These simple salmon burgers highlight the freshness and flavor of Alaskan sockeye salmon. Combine bite-sized salmon pieces with an egg, panko breadcrumbs, soy sauce, lemon zest and seasonings to create the patties, then cook on a grill pan (or outside on the grill) for the ultimate fish burger! Serve with fresh avocado slices and lettuce, then enjoy immediately. SO tasty!

Instructions

  1. Using a sharp knife, slice the skinless, deboned salmon into ½” square pieces. (Carefully cut this, as you want to keep the integrity of the salmon pieces without them becoming mushy. Cutting the salmon down took me about 10 minutes.)
  2. Place the salmon into a glass bowl, and add the egg, panko, salt, pepper, soy sauce and lemon zest.
  3. Using your hands, toss the salmon until just combined.
  4. Separate into four evenly sized patties.
  5. Preheat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat with a little bit of olive oil.
  6. When the pan is hot, place the salmon patties into it, and sear on one side.
  7. Once one side is crisp and browned, flip and cook the other side until equally browned.
  8. Remove the salmon patties from the heat, and place on the toasted buns.
  9. Place avocado slices on top of the burgers and a leaf of butter lettuce beneath them. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Ask your fishmonger to skin and debone the salmon. This will make your hands-on time at home a LOT quicker and easier.
  • The salmon patties should take 5-9 minutes, depending on the heat you’re using. You want to ensure that the centers of the patties are cooked through since you’re using an egg as a binder for this recipe.
  • These burgers can also be cooked on the grill. Cook times will change, depending on the heat.
