Instructions
Salmon Burgers:
- Finely chop the filet small ⅛-inch pieces with either a knife or a food processor. If using a food processor, cut the salmon filet into 1-inch chunks and add half of them to the processor. Pulse 15-20 times and then add in the remaining cubes. Pulse for an additional 10-15 times or until the salmon is finely diced.
- In a small bowl whisk together mayonnaise, mustard, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper. Add salmon to a large bowl along with the whisked mayonnaise mixture, finely chopped chives and dill, and the breadcrumbs. Mix by hand until all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Divide mixture into 4 equal portions. Form each portion into a patty by hand or by using a round biscuit cutter. They should end up being about 1-inch thick and 4-inches in width. Refrigerate for 15-20 minutes before cooking.
- In a large skillet over medium heat add 1-2 tablespoons of oil. Place salmon patties into the skillet in a single layer. Cook salmon burgers for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 140°F. (See recipe notes for Air Fryer and Oven directions.)
Avocado Ranch Dressing:
- Add avocado, sour cream, and lemon juice to a food processor. Process for 30-60 seconds, or until the avocado is smooth.
- Add mayonnaise, dill, parsley, powders, salt, pepper and milk. Process until ingredients are just combined.
- Serve salmon burgers on a bed of arugula or in a hamburger bun with Avocado Ranch and slices of tomato. Enjoy!
Notes
- Salmon: Fresh fillets with good marbling give the most flavor and juicy texture. Previously frozen or canned salmon can be used if needed.
- Herbs: Fresh herbs add a ton of flavor to the patty; sub with dried only if necessary.
- Get a Good Sear: A good sear adds delightful texture. While you can air fry or bake the salmon burgers, cooking them in a skillet or on the grill is the best way to get that crusty sear!
- Cook in Air Fryer: Arrange salmon patties in a single layer in a 400°F air fryer basket and cook for 9-10 minutes. Flip the burgers halfway through.
- Cook in Oven: Preheat oven to 425°F. Place salmon patties, evenly spaced, onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes.
- Storage: Keep leftover patties in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To freeze, wrap the salmon burgers in foil or plastic wrap and store in a freezer-safe airtight container. Freeze for up to 3 months.
- Reheating: Defrost patties if they are frozen. For best results warm the burgers in a skillet over medium-low heat. You can also reheat in a 350°F oven, in an air fryer, or in the microwave.
