Golden salmon burger on a toasted brioche bun with aioli

Fresh salmon flaked and formed into patties, seared until crisp and served on a soft bun.

Northwest dinner, burger form

Fresh salmon, not canned — a little mayo and panko to bind, seared crisp, and stacked on a toasted bun.

Step by stepInstructions

  1. Chop the salmon into small pieces (don't over-process — leave some texture).
  2. Mix with the mayonnaise, egg, mustard, lemon juice, panko, dill, red onion, salt, and pepper.
  3. Form into 4 patties and chill 30 minutes.
  4. Heat the butter or oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook the patties 4-5 minutes per side until golden and cooked through.
  5. Serve on toasted buns with lettuce, tomato, and lemon aioli.

💡 Chef tips & storage

Chilling the patties is key — they hold together better. A squeeze of lemon over the finished burgers brightens everything.
