Instructions

  1. Finely chop half the salmon and set aside. Cut the other half salmon into large-sized chunks, and place them in the bowl of a food processor. Add the greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, and lemon zest and blend, stopping to scrape down the sides as necessary, until the mixture becomes pasty.
  2. Remove the blade from the food processor. Fold in the reserved chopped salmon along with the green onions, dill, breadcrumbs, salt, and pepper.
  3. Shape into four burger patties.
  4. Heat a grill to medium and brush the grates with oil or heat olive oil on medium heat in a large nonstick skillet or grill pan. Cook the salmon burgers for 4 to 5 minutes on each side, turning once.
  5. Serve on burger buns with tartar sauce and lettuce, if desired.

Notes

  • Nutritional label is for the salmon patty only and does not include toppings or bun. 
  • Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container. They will last about 4 days in the fridge.
  • Freezing Instructions: You can also freeze patties before or after cooking for up to 3 months. To freeze, stack them between wax or parchment paper in a freezer-safe container. Alternatively, you can freeze them on a baking sheet, then place them all together in a ziplock bag. To re-heat, thaw in the fridge overnight and reheat on the stovetop or microwave.
  • Equipment: I use the Kitchen Aid 7-Cup Food processor to make the salmon patties. It has a high and low pulse speed so you can blend the salmon well to stay put when forming the patties.
  • Substitutes: For best results, follow the recipe as is. However here are some common substitutes that would work well in this recipe.
  • Instead of breadcrumbs, you can use all-purpose flour. 
  • To make it gluten-free, you can use quick oats, almond flour or panko breadcrumbs.
