How To Make Salmon Burger Recipe?
- Make the Salmon Patties: Add salmon to a food processor and pulse until broken down into small pieces. Transfer ¾ of the mixture to a bowl, then pulse the rest into a paste. Combine everything with onion powder, garlic powder, Old Bay seasoning, mustard powder, lemon juice, and chives. Shape into 4 patties.
- Cook the Patties: Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook patties for 3 minutes until golden brown, flip, add cheese, and cook another 3 minutes.
- Prepare the Old Bay Mayonnaise: Mix mayonnaise, chives, Old Bay seasoning, and lemon juice in a small bowl.
- Assemble the Burgers: Spread Old Bay Mayonnaise on toasted buns. Add salmon patties, cheese side up, caramelized onions, avocado, and top buns.
Recipe Tips:
- Don’t Overprocess the Salmon: Pulse the salmon just enough to break it down but keep some texture. Overprocessing can make the patties too soft and difficult to handle.
- Chill the Patties Before Cooking: Refrigerate the patties for at least 15–20 minutes before cooking. This helps them hold their shape and makes them easier to cook evenly.
- Use Medium Heat for Cooking: Cooking the patties on medium heat ensures they brown nicely on the outside while staying moist and tender on the inside. High heat can overcook the salmon.
- Add Cheese After Flipping: Place the Havarti dill cheese on the patties right after flipping them to allow it to melt perfectly without burning the bottom.
- Toast the Brioche Buns: Toasting the buns adds a nice crunch and prevents them from getting soggy when you assemble the burgers. It also enhances the flavor of the sandwich.
How To Store & Reheat Leftovers?
- Refrigerate: First, let the leftover salmon patties cool to room temperature. Place them in an airtight container and store them in the fridge for up to 2 days.
- Freeze: Arrange the uncooked or cooked patties on a parchment-lined tray and freeze until solid. Transfer them to a freezer bag and store them for up to 1 month.
- Reheat: Heat a non-stick skillet over low to medium heat. Warm the patties for 4–5 minutes, flipping halfway through.
