Description

How to make the best fresh salmon burgers that are healthy and hold together on the stovetop or grill. No breadcrumbs or fillers!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/4 pounds salmon fillets (skin and pinbones removed)
  • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs (such as cilantro, parsley, dill, chives, or a mix)
  • 2 tablespoons nonfat plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/2 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil (plus additional as needed)
  • 3/4 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh herbs (such as cilantro, parsley, dill, chives, or a mix)
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • Buns or lettuce cups
  • Arugula (optional)
  • Sliced tomato (optional)

Instructions

  1. Step: Place the salmon on a cutting board and cut crosswise into very thin, 1/4-inch strips. Now, take a second pass at cutting, going over the pieces in the opposite direction so that you cut the strips into a dice. Continue cutting the salmon until the pieces are very small, about 1/8- to 1/4-inch each.
  2. Step: Transfer the salmon to a large mixing bowl. Add the herbs, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, salt, ginger, and black pepper. With a fork, mix to combine.
  3. Step: Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions. With your hands, compact each portion into a patty that is about 1 inch thick. Place the patties on a parchment-lined baking sheet or large plate. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes or cover with plastic and refrigerate for up to 1 day.
  4. Step: While the burgers chill, prepare the sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, vinegar, herbs, garlic powder, and salt. Refrigerate until you are ready to serve.
  5. Step: Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1/2 tablespoon oil. Once the oil is hot and shimmering, gently lower the salmon patties onto it. Cook on the first side until crisp and golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Gently flip burgers and cook on the second side until crisp and the burgers register 145°F on an instant read thermometer, about 4 minutes more.
  6. Step: Serve the burgers immediately (on buns or inside of lettuce cups), topped with lots of the sauce and a sliced tomato if you like.

Notes

To grill: Preheat a grill to medium-high heat (about 400° F). Oil the grill very well. Cook as directed, flipping once. To make ahead: Assemble patties and sauce up to 1 day in advance, storing in airtight containers in the refrigerator. To store: Refrigerate burgers and sauce separately for up to 2 days.
