Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb fresh skinless, boneless salmon fillets
  • 1/2 cup bread crumbs (or gluten-free alternative like crushed almonds or gluten-free panko)
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 2 tablespoons fresh herbs (dill or parsley), chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup onion, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Olive oil, for cooking

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Salmon: Finely chop or pulse the fresh salmon fillets in a food processor until you achieve a chunky, ground texture without over-processing to maintain a nice bite.
  2. Mix the Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the chopped salmon with bread crumbs, beaten egg, minced garlic, chopped onion, fresh herbs, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined to keep the mixture tender.
  3. Form the Patties: Shape the salmon mixture into evenly sized patties about the size of your palm to ensure even cooking and easy portioning.
  4. Cook the Burgers: Heat a non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium heat with a little olive oil. Cook each patty for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
  5. Assemble and Serve: Place the cooked salmon burgers on toasted buns or lettuce wraps. Add your favorite toppings and sauces, then serve warm for the perfect family meal.

Notes

  • Keep the salmon mixture chilled before forming patties to help them hold together better during cooking.
  • Do not overwork the mix; fold ingredients gently to maintain a light and flaky texture.
  • Use fresh herbs like dill or parsley to amplify flavor beyond dried ones.
  • Preheat the pan well before adding patties to get a nicely seared crust.
  • Check doneness carefully; salmon cooks quickly and can dry out if overcooked.
