How To Make a Salmon Burger:
Salmon burgers are delicious and easy – but there are a couple tips to help you make your salmon burgers perfect – including how to shape and form salmon burger patties!
To make these perfect every time, I prefer mixing all the ingredients and then chilling your burgers for at least a half an hour, and up to one day, before grilling. This will help your burger stick together better and cook evenly.
Form patties very tight – and make sure you’re using very finely minced salmon meat to be sure the patty sticks together on the grill.
Alternative cooking method: If you want to skip the grill, these burgers can also be pan-fried or baked!
Easy Grilling Tip: For stick-free, no-hassle grilling, place burgers on a prepped cedar plank or a piece of foil instead of directly on the grill grates.
Tips to Perfect Grilled Salmon Burgers:
These easy grilled salmon burgers are delicious and quick – but there are a couple tips that will help you make the most delicious, juicy, and flavorful grilled or pan-fried salmon burgers ever!
- If you need a keto approved swap for sweet chili sauce, try teriyaki coconut aminos.
- We’re not using much, so you can go with the recipe as listed below if you’re not too strict on your eating plan, but if you want a ket approved swap, grab some coconut aminos with a slightly sweeter flavor, like the Teryaki sauce.
- Be thorough looking for bones.
- Nothing ruins your deliciously juicy salmon burger like a bone in the meat – check your fish very, very carefully to be sure all bones are removed.
- Don’t overcook.
- Fish dries out a lot when overcooked since it has a much lower fat content. You want your salmon burgers to be fully cooked, but not overcooked!
- Kick up the flavor.
- This recipe is insanely adaptable – change up the flavors for all sorts of delicious salmon burger ideas!

This has always been my place for food and recipes and here this one you killed it again.
Far too much chatter before you get to the recipe. There was so much yammering and ads that I thought at one point, the recipie wasn’t even on the page. No one reads how much you like to eat a recipie or even if you like it. Put the tips afterward and cut the yammering down by 50% and the ads by 25%.
What a great recipe! Salmon not only tastes great but it also provides the metabolism with high levels of selenium that counter the negative effects of heavy metal toxicity. It is worth noting that the nervous system enzimes that protect the brain are selenium dependent.
