Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound salmon fillet, skin removed
- 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 burger buns

Instructions
- Cut the salmon into chunks and place in a food processor. Pulse until coarsely ground.
- Transfer the ground salmon to a bowl. Add panko breadcrumbs, dill, Dijon mustard, lemon zest, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape them into patties, about 3/4 inch thick.

Notes
- For a healthier option, you can grill the salmon burgers instead of pan-frying them.
- If you don’t have a food processor, you can finely chop the salmon by hand.
- Feel free to add other seasonings like onion powder or a pinch of cayenne pepper for extra flavor.
