Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 1/2 pounds skinless salmon fillet, finely chopped by hand or food processor
- 1/3 cup gluten free panko or grated parmesan
- 2 Tablespoon chopped green onion
- 2 teaspoons spicy brown or Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or to taste
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, optional
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1/2 Tablespoon hot sauce
- Topping – Garlic Aioli or sauce of choice
Instructions
- Put half the salmon on a cutting board and chop finely. Then place in a large mixing bowl.
- Then place the remaining half of the salmon into a large food processor (see notes if you don’t have a food processor). Pulse a few times until it is chopped into 1⁄4-inch pieces. (Do not over-process). Transfer to the large mixing bowl. Add the panko, green onion, mustard, salt, pepper, garlic, and onion to the bowl with the salmon, mix to combine. Add lemon juice and hot sauce and mix again. Shape into 4 patties about 3-4 inches wide. Place in the fridge for 30 minutes.
- Lightly grease the grill and preheat to medium-high heat (400 F). Add the burgers, and cook for 3 to 5 minutes on each side for medium. If you would like them more well done, reduce the heat to medium so they do not burn.
- Serve the burgers immediately on gluten free buns topped with aioli, pesto, avocado, lettuce, etc.
- Store cooked salmon burgers in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
Notes
Alternative Methods –
- AIR FRYER – Preheat the air fryer at 400°F/200°C. Place the patties in the air fryer basket and spray the tops with non-stick cooking spray. Cook for 5 minutes then flip and spray the burgers again and cook for another 5 minutes or until the internal temperature of the burgers is 145F.
- OVEN – Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes (flipping after 10 minutes) or until the internal temperature of the burgers is 145F.
- SKILLET – Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1/2 Tablespoon high heat cooking oil (refined avocado oil or coconut oil). Once the pan is sizzling, carefully place the salmon patties in the skillet. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes, gently flip, and continue to cook for an additional 4-5 minutes until golden brown and the burger’s internal temperature reaches 145°F.
