Salmon Burger Recipe
Description
This Salmon Burger Recipe starts by draining canned sockeye salmon then flaking it with a fork in a mixing bowl. Egg, Dijon mustard, and fresh lemon juice are added to bind and brighten flavor. Dried dill, granulated garlic, kosher salt, black pepper, and panko breadcrumbs are incorporated to season and provide texture and structure. A dash of hot sauce can be added for a mild kick.
The mixture is shaped into four balls and pressed into half-inch thick patties, then allowed to rest about 10 minutes to help them hold together when cooked. Pan-frying in a lightly oiled, preheated non-stick skillet over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes per side results in golden brown, slightly crisped salmon burgers with a tender interior.
These salmon burgers serve nicely on hamburger buns with classic burger toppings or sauces, making them a tasty alternative protein option for casual meals. Using canned sockeye salmon offers convenience while maintaining distinctive seafood flavor.
