Ingredients

  • 1 pound (453g) cooked salmon (or use 1 (14.75oz; 418g) canned salmon; mostly drained)
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup (70g) breadcrumbs
  • ¼ cup (25g) finely chopped red onion
  • ¼ cup (15g) finely chopped fresh dill
  • ½ large lemon, juiced
  • ½ teaspoon salt (reduce or omit if using canned)
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl flake the salmon and add remaining ingredients. Mix just until combined. Form into 5-6 patties and cook over medium low heat with a little oil for a few minutes on each side or until browned.

Notes

  1. STORAGE: Store cooled burgers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  2. FREEZER FRIENDLY: Freeze cooled burgers in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator. 
  3. REHEAT: Eat these cold, reheated in a skillet over low heat with a small amount of oil, or in the microwave.
  4. Replace the fresh dill with freeze dried or 1 tablespoon dried.
