Salmon Burgers
Description
The salmon burger mixture includes canned salmon blended with breadcrumbs, beaten egg, garlic, chopped scallions, Dijon mustard, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, parsley, salt, and pepper to bind and add flavor. Patties are hand-formed and cooked in a preheated, oiled skillet over medium heat, allowing for a golden crust and moist interior.
The herb sauce combines Greek yogurt and mayonnaise with fresh lemon juice, dill, parsley or chives, capers, salt, and black pepper to add a tangy, creamy complement to the salmon patties. Together with fresh lettuce, sliced tomato, and onion on buns, these burgers offer a well-rounded taste and texture.
Salmon burgers are served immediately for best tenderness and can be paired with sides or enjoyed alone. The recipe does not include storage or make-ahead details but focuses on fresh preparation and serving.

Instructions
- Make herb sauce by mixing together Greek yogurt, mayo, lemon juice, dill, parsley, capers, salt and pepper. Place in the fridge while making your burgers.
- Make burgers by adding salmon, bread crumbs, egg, garlic, scallions, dijon mustard, lemon juice, parsley, salt and pepper to a medium mixing bowl. Mix together until combined.
- Form the mixture into 4 patties using your hands. I used a wide-mouthed mason jar lid to help form the patties.
- Coat a large nonstick skillet or cast iron with oil. Turn heat to medium and allow the pan to heat up for about 1 minute. Add the patties and cook for about 4 minutes each side. Be careful when flipping the burgers! Salmon burgers are delicate and can break easily.
- Serve immediately on a bun with herb sauce, lettuce, tomato and onion.
