Ingredients
FOR THE SALMON PATTIES:
- 1 ½ lbs. Salmon fillet skin removed
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1 large egg lightly beaten
- 2 tablespoons bread crumbs
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup flour (you won’t need all of this)
FOR THE SAUCE:
- 6 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Red Gold® Ketchup
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons sweet pickled relish
OPTIONAL, FOR SERVING:
- Buns, split
- lettuce
- tomato
- sliced red onion
- sliced dill pickles
Instructions
- Cut the salmon into 2-inch pieces. Transfer about 1/3 of the salmon to a food processor, and process, scraping down sides, until mixture is very smooth and paste-like. Add remaining salmon and pulse 4–5 times until pieces are about ¼ inch (do not make them too small). Transfer salmon to a large bowl.
- Use a fork to gently stir in garlic, egg, bread crumbs, mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce and salt.
- Divide mixture into 4 equal patties (about ¾ inch thick). Place the patties on a parchment-lined baking sheet, cover loosely with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Remove salmon patties from fridge right before cooking and dust with flour just to coat the outside. I like to use a sieve to sprinkle just a thin layer of flour on each side of the patties. This avoids any big lumps. Cook the patties in the hot skillet until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side (don’t overcook the burgers or they will be dry).
PREPARE THE SAUCE:
- Stir together the mayonnaise, ketchup, lemon juice and pickled relish in a small bowl.
ASSEMBLE THE BURGERS:
- Spread the sauce on the top and bottom of a bun. Place a burger on the bun and top with lettuce, tomato, onion and pickles.
Notes
- While you can grill these burgers on an outdoor grill or on an indoor grill pan, I find that they stay together best and are easiest to flip when cooked on a flat surface like a skillet or griddle.
- I typically use panko bread crumbs since that's what I keep on hand, but you can use any bread crumbs that you prefer -- or even crushed crackers (such as saltines).
- Serve the salmon burgers on buns, or for a lighter option serve the burgers bun-free. The plain burgers are great when topped with just a dollop of sauce, sliced avocado and some fresh herbs or green onions.
- Don't forget to dust the patties with flour just before cooking. This will help them get nice and crispy on the outside!
- Add fresh summer herbs to the salmon mixture before cooking. Some dill, parsley or basil would be a delicious, bright touch.
- The salmon burger patties are a healthy meal option. Served without a bun, the burgers are Keto-friendly and low-carb. Each burger has about 390 calories, 25 grams of fat, 36 grams of protein and just 4 grams of carbohydrates.
