Grilled Salmon Burgers with Dill Yogurt Sauce
Description
Grilled Salmon Burgers with Dill Yogurt Sauce starts by pulsing fresh salmon fillet into a ground mixture combined with scallions, Dijon mustard, mayonnaise, Old Bay seasoning, lemon juice and zest, breadcrumbs, hot sauce, salt, and pepper. Chilling the formed patties helps maintain their shape during cooking. Grilling imparts a light crust while keeping the interior tender and moist. The dill yogurt sauce, made from Greek yogurt, Dijon, lemon juice, and fresh dill, is seasoned simply and enhances the fish’s flavor with bright herbal and creamy notes.
Presented on toasted multigrain buns, the burgers are complemented by avocado, tomato, and baby spinach to add freshness and texture variety. This combination offers a satisfying meal with balanced components.
The burgers can also be prepared in an air fryer or frozen raw for later use, providing cooking flexibility. Oiling and preheating the grill well ensure the patties cook evenly without sticking. These details help maintain texture and presentation for an enjoyable dining experience.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ lbs salmon fillet skinless, wild Alaskan preferred
- 3 scallion sliced
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 1 ½ teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice plus 1 teaspoon zest
- ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon Sriracha or other hot sauce
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Dill Yogurt Sauce:
- ¾ cup Greek yogurt plain, reduced fat
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 1 ½ tablespoons dill fresh, chopped
- salt
- black pepper
Other:
- oil for brushing the grill
- 6 multigrain hamburger bun or bread, toasted
- avocado sliced, assorted toppings
- tomato
- baby spinach
Instructions
- Cut the salmon roughly into chunks and place the pieces in a food processor. Pulse until salmon is ground into a paste but still has some small pieces for texture. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl and add the scallions, mustard, mayonnaise, Old Bay, lemon juice, zest, breadcrumbs, hot sauce, salt and pepper.
- Gently mix the ingredients together until combined. Form the mixture into 6 equal patties. Refrigerate the burgers for 15 minutes to firm up before cooking.
- To make the sauce, mix the yogurt, mustard, lemon juice, and dill together in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
- Heat a grill or stovetop grill pan over medium high heat. Add the burgers and cook 3-4 minutes until browned on the bottom. Flip the burgers over and cook an additional 3-4 minutes until cooked through. Serve the burgers on toasted buns with dill yogurt sauce and desired toppings.
Notes
- Salmon burgers can be cooked in an air fryer at 400°F for about 8 minutes for a moist result.
- Raw patties freeze well; thaw overnight in the fridge before cooking for convenient future meals.
- Preheat and oil the grill to prevent sticking and help burgers release easily after 3-4 minutes of cooking.
