Equipment

  • 1 grilling plate If grilling outdoors
  • 1 Large Skillet if using stovetop

Ingredients

Grilled Salmon Burgers:

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 15ounce can Pink Salmon
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons Dijon-style mustard
  • 3/4 cup panko bread crumbs
  • 1/2 cup sliced green onions
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning

Optional Garlicky Lemon-Dill Sauce:

  • 1/2 cup mayo I use light olive oil mayo
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 clove garlic - minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chopped dill or 1 teaspoon dried dill weed
  • 1/2 teaspoon dijon mustard

Instructions

Instructions:

  • Drain salmon and add to a medium bowl.
  • Stir well to break up into pieces. No need to remove any small bones or skin. (see note)
  • Add lemon juice, Dijon mustard, green onions, panko, and eggs, and stir well until combined.
  • Form the mixture into 4 large or 5 medium patties using your hands.
  • Add one tablespoon of olive oil to a large skillet and cook on medium heat until golden brown on both sides or cook on grill using a grilling plate that has been sprayed with cooking spray.
  • Whisk all the ingredients together in a small bowl.
  • Serve salmon burger on a toasted bun. Top with lettuce, tomato, sliced pickles, and prepared Lemon Dill Sauce. (Can substitute tartar sauce)

Notes

* The skin and tiny cell bones are completely edible and an excellent source of calcium and Omega 3 fatty acids simply blend the skin and bones with the salmon and other ingredients. Surprisingly, they are not at all noticeable once you have cooked the patties.
* Be careful not to flip over the patties before they have browned well on each side, the patties tend to fall apart if turned over too soon.
* If using a grill, use a grilling plate that has been sprayed with cooking spray or lightly coated with olive oil to ensure that the patties don't fall apart when turning.
