The recipe is a play on everything bagels and lox and cream cheese. Of course, I did a little lightening up with my buddy greek yogurt. I was craving a burger and this salmon version did the trick. Making the patties from scratch was super easy and far more tasty than any fresh or frozen salmon patty I have ever purchased at the store. It's worth the extra 5 minutes of effort!
Everything Salmon Burgers
Ingredients
- For Burgers
- 1 pound fresh salmon, skin removed, cut into chunks
- 1 tbsp grill seasoning (like Montreal Steak or similar)
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds
- 1 tbsp poppy seeds
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tbsp dried dill or 1/4 c. fresh dill

- 6 green onions, diced
- 2 tsp. lemon zest
- juice of one lemon
- Kaiser rolls, or other roll of your choice
- Lettuce, tomato, red onion for topping
Instructions
- First we want to make the spread so all the flavors have time to come together
- Combine all ingredients for the spread, stir well, and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes
- Place salmon chunks in food processor and process until ground
- Place in bowl and combine with remaining burger ingredients
- Form patties of your desired size
- Heat a pan over medium high heat, spray with cooking spray
- The salmon has so much oil that it will not stick to the pan
- Cook patties for 4 minutes on each side or until lightly brown
- Serve with spread, lettuce, tomato and onion on the roll of your choice
