Equipment

  • Skillet

Ingredients

Salmon Patties

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh herbs such as chives, flat-leaf parsley, or dill
  • 12 –14 ounces flaked cooked salmon
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon roasted garlic powder
  • olive oil for frying
  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon zest

Cabbage Herb Slaw

  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped fresh herbs
  • 1 medium green cabbage finely shredded
  • 2 –3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • a light drizzle of extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon finely sliced green onions

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Salmon Patties

  • Start by flaking your cooked salmon into a large bowl. Ensure that there are no bones. You can use leftover salmon, canned salmon, or even poach fresh salmon if you prefer. Mix in the eggs, sea salt, herbs, Dijon mustard, roasted garlic powder, lemon zest, and panko breadcrumbs.
  • Combine everything well until the mixture holds together. Use your hands; it's perfectly fine to get a little messy here. Once combined, you can form small patties, about 3 to 4 inches in diameter.

Step 2: Cook the Salmon Patties

  • In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, carefully place the patties in the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side or until they turn a lovely golden brown.
  • This creates a delicious crust while keeping everything tender inside. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3: Prepare the Cabbage Herb Slaw

  • In a large bowl, combine shredded cabbage, chopped fresh herbs, and sea salt. Toss well to ensure the cabbage is evenly coated. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the white wine vinegar, Greek yogurt, smoked garlic powder, and a drizzle of olive oil.
  • Pour this dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss to combine. The slaw should be crunchy, zesty, and vibrantly green. Allow it to sit for about 10 minutes to let the flavors meld.

Step 4: Assemble Your Salmon Burgers

  • Take your favorite burger buns and layer them with cooked salmon patties. Top generously with the cabbage herb slaw. For extra flavor, consider adding a squeeze of lemon or additional herbs.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy!

  • Plate your salmon burgers with a side of your choice, and watch as everyone digs in!

Notes

  • Patty Thickness: Keep your patties about 1 inch thick for even cooking.
  • Cooking Method: Feel free to bake the patties at 375°F (190°C) for about 15-20 minutes for a healthier version.
  • Flavors: If you want an Asian twist, try incorporating sesame oil and soy sauce into the salmon mixture.
  • Chilling Time: For best results, chill the patties for about 30 minutes before cooking to help them maintain their shape.
  • Variations: Try adding finely diced bell peppers or red onions to the patties for a little crunch.
