Easy Salmon Burgers
The salmon will chop more readily if it’s slightly frozen. If you have time, toss it in the freezer for 30 minutes before you start making these burgers.
Ingredients
- 1½ lbs. fresh salmon, skin removed and chopped
- 1 egg
- ½ cup chopped fresh parsley
- ¼ cup chopped green onion or fresh chives
- 1 Tbsp. Dijon mustard
- 3 tsp. steak seasoning or everything bagel seasoning
- ¾ cup panko bread crumbs
- 3 to 4 Tbsp. olive oil
- Burger buns or ciabatta rolls, split and toasted
- Desired toppings
Instructions
- In a food processor combine half the salmon, the egg, parsley, chives, mustard, steak seasoning, and ¼ cup of the panko. Pulse until a paste forms, scraping the sides of the processor. Add remaining salmon. Pulse until the salmon pieces are coarsely chopped.
- Spread half of the bread crumbs in a shallow rectangular dish. Form the salmon mixture into 4 patties and place on the bread crumbs, pressing to flatten. Sprinkle remaining bread crumbs evenly over salmon. Cover and chill patties for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours.
- In a large skillet heat 2 Tbsp. olive oil over medium-high heat. Add salmon patties. Cook, turning once, 8 to 10 minutes or until the patties are firm and cooked through, adding more oil as needed. Serve on buns with desired toppings.
