Ingredients

Scale

Salmon Burger Ingredients

  • 1 lb fresh salmon fillet, skin removed and finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons fresh herbs (such as dill, parsley, or chives), finely chopped
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or vegetable oil, for frying

Instructions

  1. Prepare the salmon mixture: In a bowl, combine finely chopped salmon, breadcrumbs, egg, and fresh herbs. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Mix gently until all ingredients are evenly incorporated, being careful not to overwork the mixture to keep the patties tender.
  2. Form the patties: Divide the salmon mixture into four equal portions. Shape each portion into a round patty about 1/2 inch thick. Place the formed patties on a plate and refrigerate for 10 minutes to help them set and hold together during cooking.
  3. Pan-fry the salmon burgers: Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Carefully add the salmon patties to the pan. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the burgers are golden brown and the salmon is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 145°F / 63°C). Avoid flipping multiple times to keep patties intact.
  4. Serve hot: Remove the salmon burgers from the pan and place on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil. Serve immediately with your choice of buns, fresh greens, and condiments like tartar sauce, lemon aioli, or avocado slices.

Notes

  • Use fresh, high-quality salmon for the best flavor and texture.
  • If needed, substitute breadcrumbs with gluten-free breadcrumbs for a gluten-free option.
  • Chilling the patties before frying helps them hold their shape better.
  • You can add a squeeze of lemon juice or finely grated lemon zest to the mixture for extra brightness.
  • Leftover patties can be refrigerated for up to 2 days and reheated gently in a pan.
