Salmon Burgers Recipe
Description
The Salmon Burgers Recipe uses ground skinless salmon combined with finely chopped red onion, fresh dill, Dijon mustard, paprika, cumin, coriander, breadcrumbs, and kosher salt. The mixture is formed into patties with a slight indentation in the center to promote even cooking. After chilling, the patties are grilled to medium-high heat for 4 to 5 minutes per side, resulting in a grilled exterior and tender interior.
A yogurt-based sauce made with garlic, lemon juice, dill, salt, and pepper complements the burgers with a fresh tang. Served on buns with lettuce, tomato, red onion, and pickles, these salmon burgers provide a moist and flavorful alternative protein option.
The recipe also allows for stovetop cooking and offers freezing instructions for both cooked and uncooked patties to facilitate meal prep and storage. Various topping ideas like avocado and caramelized onions add versatility.
