  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
  • 4 –6 burger buns

Instructions
 

  • Finely chop the salmon fillets into small pieces.
  • In a large bowl, combine the chopped salmon, breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  • Mix until the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
  • Divide the mixture into 4 to 6 equal portions and shape them into burger patties.
  • Heat a lightly greased skillet or grill over medium heat.
  • Cook the patties for 4–5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and the salmon is fully cooked.

Notes

  • Serve with sweet potato fries, baked potato wedges, or a crisp green salad.
  • A creamy dill sauce or lemon aioli pairs wonderfully with these burgers.
  • Brioche buns provide a rich, buttery flavor, while whole wheat buns offer a healthier alternative.
  • Adjust the amount of Dijon mustard for a milder or tangier taste.
