Ingredients

  • 12 oz boneless skinless canned salmon
  • 1/4 cup shallots or red onions I diced these very small and thin
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 cup mayo
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp dried parsley
  • 1 tsp Old Bay seasoning
  • 2 tbsp avocado oil for sauteing the patties

Burger Toppings (Optional)

  • 4 Brioche Burger Buns toasted
  • Red Onion
  • Spicy Mayo You can mix 1-2 tbsp sriracha or hot sauce with about ¼ cup of mayo
  • Butter Lettuce
  • Tomato Slices

Instructions

  • Whisk the mayo and egg in a large bowl until completely combined. They will look kind of thick like Greek yogurt.
  • Add the remaining ingredients to the bowl.
  • Use a spoon to mix to incorporate.
  • Form about 4 salmon burger patties. Set aside.
  • Heat avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat.
  • Saute the salmon burgers for 4-5 minutes per side to cook them through and brown both sides. If they are getting a little toasty then simply turn your burner down a little so that you can continue to cook the patty through.
  • Add the patties to toasted burger buns and top with things like lettuce, spicy mayo, butter lettuce, red onion, and tomatoes.

Notes

  • Store the patties in the refrigerator for 10 -15 minutes before cooking if you wish to firm them up more.
  • Use slider buns to create mini salmon burgers. Simply form the salmon into 8-10 smaller burgers.
  • Make these in the air fryer by cooking them at 375 degrees for 12-14 minutes
  • Store cooked canned salmon burgers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer - just thaw the salmon burgers in the refrigerator overnight before reheating.
