These salmon burgers are quick to prepare and pack a flavorful punch with fresh herbs and zesty seasonings. The Asian-inspired ingredients give a unique twist that makes each bite exciting and satisfying. They are perfect for a healthy meal that doesn't skimp on taste.

Cooking Techniques

- Use fresh salmon for the best texture and flavor.
- Handle the patties gently to keep them tender and prevent them from falling apart.
- Cook over medium heat to ensure the burgers cook through without burning the outside.

Step 1

Set a colander over a bowl and gently breaking up the salmon in it to help drain out any excess liquid. Let it sit for about 10 minutes, then discard the juice and transfer the salmon to a large mixing bowl. Stir in the chopped bell pepper and onion, then add the bread crumbs, eggs, soy sauce, Sriracha, ginger, a teaspoon of sesame oil, mustard powder, and garlic powder. Mix everything together until well combined. Shape the mixture into five patties, place them on a baking sheet, and cover with plastic wrap. Pop them in the fridge for at least an hour, or even overnight if you have the time.

Step 2

When you’re ready to cook, heat some vegetable oil along with another teaspoon of sesame oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Carefully add the patties and lower the heat to medium. Cook them for about 7 to 9 minutes on each side, flipping just once, until they’re nicely browned and cooked through. Once done, transfer the burgers to a plate and get ready to enjoy!

Best Foods To Serve With This

Serve the burgers on toasted buns with crisp lettuce, sliced cucumber, and a drizzle of spicy mayo or soy-ginger sauce. Add pickled vegetables or a simple slaw to enhance the crunch and balance the flavors beautifully.

Refrigeration Tips

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 individually and cook from frozen when ready.

Really enjoyed the flavors, but patties were a bit soft for my liking. Next time I’ll add more breadcrumbs for firmer texture.

Enjoyed the recipe a lot but I think I added too much soy sauce. Next time I’ll dial that back a bit, still turned out great overall.
