Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Form the mixture into 4 patties using your hands. I used a wide-mouthed mason jar lid to help form the patties.
  4. 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.
  5. Serve immediately on a bun with herb sauce, lettuce, tomato and onion.
