Ingredients
- 1 lb fresh salmon fillet, skin removed and finely chopped (or 2 cans (14.75 oz each) salmon, drained and flaked)
- 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for cooking)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the salmon, panko, red onion, parsley, mustard, lemon juice, egg, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined.
- Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape into patties about 3/4 inch thick. Place on a plate and refrigerate for 15 minutes (this helps them hold together).
- Heat olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties until golden brown and cooked through, about 4 minutes per side.
- Serve on buns with desired toppings such as lettuce, tomato, red onion, and tartar sauce or a dollop of yogurt-dill sauce.
Tips
- For best results, use fresh salmon and chop it finely rather than grinding.
- If using canned salmon, remove any skin and bones before flaking.
- These burgers can be cooked on a grill over medium heat for a smoky flavor.
- Leftover patties can be refrigerated for up to 2 days and reheated in a skillet.
