Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb skinless salmon fillet, finely diced or pulsed in a food processor
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs (or almond flour for gluten-free)
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, for cooking
- 4 burger buns, lettuce, tomato, onion for serving
- For the Lemon Dill Aioli:
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Pinch of salt and pepper
Instructions
- Prepare the Aioli: In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, lemon juice, chopped dill, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well and refrigerate until serving.
- Prepare the Salmon Burgers: In a large bowl, combine the diced or pulsed salmon, breadcrumbs, egg, dill, parsley, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Form Patties: Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties, about 3/4-inch thick.
- Cook the Burgers: Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Carefully place the salmon patties in the hot skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.
- Assemble and Serve: Toast burger buns if desired. Place a salmon burger on each bun. Top with fresh lettuce, tomato, onion, and a generous dollop of the Lemon Dill Aioli. Serve immediately.
Notes
- For a gluten-free option, use almond flour instead of breadcrumbs.
- Ensure salmon is finely diced or pulsed for best patty consistency.
