This zesty salmon burger combines fresh lemon flavors with tender, flaky fish for a bright and satisfying meal. Perfect for a quick dinner or casual lunch, it’s a delicious way to enjoy seafood with a refreshing twist.
Start by tossing the salmon chunks, parsley, bread crumbs, green onion, seafood seasoning, lemon juice, salt, and pepper into a food processor. Give it a few quick pulses until the salmon is chopped up but not mushy. Then, shape the mixture into four even patties.
Heat some olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the patties and cook them for about 4 minutes on each side, until they’re nicely golden brown and cooked through. Keep an eye on them so they don’t burn, and you’re good to go!
- Use fresh lemon juice and zest to maximize the bright citrus flavor.
- Avoid overmixing the salmon mixture to keep the patties tender.
- Cook the patties on medium heat to ensure they cook through without drying out.
This dish combines the fresh, zesty flavor of lemon with tender, flaky salmon for a light yet satisfying meal. It’s a healthier alternative to traditional burgers and packed with protein and omega-3s. Perfect for anyone looking to enjoy a flavorful seafood option without hassle.
These burgers taste great on a toasted whole-grain bun with crisp lettuce, ripe tomato slices, and a dollop of tangy yogurt or aioli. Add a side of sweet potato fries or a simple green salad to complete the meal.
Store any leftover patties in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. Reheat gently in a pan or oven to keep them moist. For longer storage, freeze the uncooked patties on a baking sheet before transferring them to a freezer bag for up to one month.
