Salmon Burger

This burger, made with fresh salmon, is juicy on the inside with a golden, slightly crisp exterior. It is lightly seasoned with a savory blend of garlic, onion, fresh dill, and a hint of lemon. Served with a zesty sauce, it’s a lighter, flavorful alternative to a traditional burger.

Equipment

  • Food Processor
  • Large skillet

Ingredients

Sauce

  • ⅓ cup mayonnaise
  • ⅓ cup sour cream
  • 2 tsp minced fresh dill
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • ¼ tsp red pepper flakes
  • ¼ tsp salt

Bugger Patties

  • 1½ cups butter cracker crumbs
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp finely minced red onion
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon
  • 1 tbsp honey mustard
  • 1 egg white
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp minced fresh dill
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 lbs skinned salmon fillet, cubed
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil
  • 4 hamburger buns, split and toasted
  • Optional: Butter lettuce and sliced red onion

Instructions

  • Whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, dill, paprika, pepper flakes, and salt. Set aside.
  • In a food processor pulse cracker crumbs, mayonnaise, minced onion, lemon juice, mustard, egg white, garlic powder, onion powder, dill, and black pepper to combine. Add salmon; pulse until semi-smooth with a few larger pieces.
  • Gently shape salmon mixture into four patties, then freeze until firm on a parchment lined pan, 10–15 minutes.
  • Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high. Add patties and fry until golden brown, about 4 minutes per side.
  • Assemble burgers on buns. Top with the premade sauce, lettuce, and sliced red onion.

Notes

  1. To keep them tender, don’t over mix. Pulse salmon mixture, scraping down sides, until salmon is mostly minced with a few larger pieces.
  2. If you don’t have a food processor you can finely chop the salmon and mix by hand.
  3. If mixture feels too wet, add a bit more crackers.
  4. For extra flavor add a dash of hot sauce or chopped capers to the patties.
