Instructions
- Step 1: Prepare the Salmon Mixture- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flaked salmon, breadcrumbs, beaten egg, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.- Mix thoroughly until the ingredients are well incorporated and the mixture holds together when pressed.
- Step 2: Shape the Patties- Divide the mixture into four equal portions.- Form each portion into a patty approximately 1/2-inch thick.
- Step 3: Cook the Patties- Heat olive oil in a pan over medium temperature.- Place the salmon patties in the pan and cook for 3–4 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through.- Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess oil.
- Step 4: Assemble the Burgers- Toast the burger buns lightly for added crunch.- Set a prepared salmon patty on the lower half of each bun.- Add your preferred toppings, such as lettuce, tomato slices, pickles, and your favorite sauce.- Cover with the top bun and serve immediately.
Notes
- Substitution Tip: Swap breadcrumbs with crushed crackers or panko for added crunch.
- Storage: Cooked patties can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- Reheating: Use a skillet or microwave to reheat the patties for the best results.
