Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb salmon fillet skinless
  • 0.25 cup plain breadcrumbs
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp fresh dill chopped
  • 0.5 tsp garlic powder
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 0.25 tsp black pepper
For Serving
  • 4 burger buns
  • 4 lettuce leaves
  • 1 tomato sliced
  • 0.25 onion sliced
  • 0.25 cup tartar sauce or desired spread

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Pat the salmon fillet dry. Flake the salmon into a medium bowl, ensuring no bones remain.
  2. Add breadcrumbs, egg, mayonnaise, chopped fresh dill, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the bowl with the salmon. Mix gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  3. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and form them into patties, about 1-inch thick.
  4. Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add a tablespoon of olive oil if desired.
  5. Cook the salmon patties for 4-6 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 145°F or 63°C).
  6. Serve the salmon burgers immediately on toasted burger buns with lettuce, tomato, onion, and a dollop of tartar sauce or your favorite spread.

Notes

Feel free to customize your salmon burgers with different herbs or spices. They also pair well with a side salad or sweet potato fries.
