Instructions

1
|
Pulse the salmon, egg, capers, dill, and salt in a food processor until just combined. You should still see small pieces of salmon. Don't over-process or you'll lose the texture.
2
|
Shape into 4 patties on a foil or parchment lined sheet pan. The mixture can sticky, so wet hands make this much easier.
3
|
Chill for at least 1 hour. This is what keeps the patties together in the pan. Chilling allows the proteins to firm up so they don't fall apart during cooking. Even 30 minutes helps if you're short on time.
4
|
Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook for 3 minutes per side until golden brown and slightly crispy. The internal temperature should reach 145°F. Use a wide spatula and be deliberate when flipping, since salmon burgers are more delicate than beef.
5
|
Make the lemon yogurt sauce by combining the yogurt, lemon juice, dijon mustard and salt in a small bowl.
6
|
Place patties on a bun and top with lemon yogurt sauce, avocado, lettuce, and tomato, or any other desired toppings.

Tips & Tricks (5)

  • Pulse, Don't Mince 🔪
    Use a food processor with short pulses to break down the salmon rather than a fine mince—this creates a better texture that holds together without becoming mushy or dense.
  • Chill Before Cooking ❄️
    Refrigerate your formed patties for at least 30 minutes before cooking to help them hold their shape and achieve a perfect golden crust without falling apart.
  • Skip the Over-Mixing 🚫
    Combine your salmon mixture gently with a fork—overworking develops gluten-like proteins that make the burgers tough and dense instead of tender and flaky.
  • Oil the Pan, Not the Patties 🛢️
    Add oil to a preheated pan rather than to the raw patties, which prevents excess oil absorption and ensures a crispy exterior while keeping the inside moist.
  • Make a Dill-Caper Compound Butter 🧈
    Mix softened butter with fresh dill and capers ahead of time, then melt it onto the warm bun for an elevated flavor boost that complements the salmon beautifully.
