The secret to these burgers is using canned salmon. Not only is it fast and convenient, you also don't have to worry about the fish bones: The canning process makes them as soft and as safe to eat as the fish filet itself.
1 (14 oz.) can salmon, drained completely
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1/2 c. panko bread crumbs
1 clove garlic, minced
Zest of 1 lemon
2 tbsp. lemon juice
2 tbsp. freshly chopped dill
1 tbsp. Dijon mustard
1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
1/2 tsp. red pepper flakes
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
Hamburger buns, for serving
Mayonnaise, for serving
Romaine, for serving
Tomato, for serving
Red onion, for serving
Step 1
In a large bowl, combine salmon with egg, bread crumbs, garlic, lemon zest and juice, dill, Dijon, Worcestershire, and red pepper flakes. Season with salt and pepper and stir until fully combined, then form into 3 or 4 patties.
Step 2
In a large skillet, heat oil. Add patties and cook until golden, about 4 minutes on each side.
Step 3
Serve patties on buns with mayonnaise, romaine, tomatoes, and onions.
