How to make salmon burger with fresh salmon
These burgers are made with Fresh (or frozen) salmon For the best texture and flavor. We tried making it with canned salmon, but the difference in quality was too big!
To make salmon burgers using fresh salmon, you will need to remove the skin and cut the fish into cubes. You will add a small amount of it to Food processor Mix them until you get a dough, which helps the mixture stick together.
Next, you’ll add the rest of the salmon cubes along with the green onions, fresh basil, bread crumbs, and lemon juice, mayonnaiseDijon mustard and salt. This combination ensures a perfect balance of herbs, brightness and vitality!
After whisking the mixture, it will turn into the perfect salmon burger consistency and is ready to be shaped into patties.

salmon patties
- 1 pound Boneless, skinless salmon, cut into 1 to 2-inch pieces (preferably wild // we used sockeye salmon // if frozen, thaw and pat dry)
- 2 Legs Green onions, peeled and thinly sliced (2 green onions yield about 1/2 cup or 42 grams)
- 1/3 loosely packed cup Fresh basil
- 1/3 cup panko bread crumbs (Gluten-free as needed – we love it.) Kikkoman)
- 2 tablespoon lemonade
- 1 and a half tablespoon mayonnaise (egg free (as needed)
- 2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- Avocado oil (or any other high heat neutral oil // for cooking)
Quick Sweet Chili Sauceor Purchased from store)
- 2 tablespoon honey
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1/2 teaspoon rice vinegar
- Salmon Patties: In Food processorBlend 1/3 cup (67 grams) salmon into a smooth paste, scraping down the sides several times.
Add the remaining salmon, chopped green onions, basil, bread crumbs, lemon juice, mayonnaise, mustard, and salt. Process until the salmon is slightly crumbled and the mixture is smooth, mixing with a rubber spatula every 2-3 pulses. It took about 20 pulses total to achieve the consistency we were going for.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal patties (about 1/2-3/4 cup of mixture per patty) and place on a plate. If the patties are too wet or have difficulty forming, you can add a little more breadcrumbs at a time to make them easier to shape. Optional: Refrigerate for 10 minutes (or overnight)—this can help the burgers hold their shape, but we haven’t found it necessary.
- Cabbage salad with apples: prepare it Cabbage salad with apples (If you’re using them.) Or for a shortcut, you can use baby arugula, lettuce, or any other green – just wash and dry.
- When you’re ready to cook the burgers, heat a thin layer of oil in a large pot. cast iron Or a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the salmon burgers and cook until browned and cooked through, 3-4 minutes per side. Alternatively, you can cook them on a greased grill or grill pan.
Quick Sweet Chili Sauce: In a small bowl, add honey, red pepper flakes, and rice vinegar and stir to combine. Set aside.
Serve burgers on toasted buns. Our recommended layering technique: Mayo-spiced bun bottom, salmon burger, tomato, sweet chili sauce, coleslaw and apple (or veggie) slaw, avocado, top bun. Extra coleslaw and apple slaw is great as a side. Enjoy!
Store any leftover ingredients separately. Salmon burgers will keep well in the refrigerator for 1-2 days or in the freezer for up to a month. Reheat covered in the microwave or in a lightly oiled skillet over medium-low heat until heated through. Apple coleslaw is best fresh but will keep for 1-2 days in the refrigerator.
