Equipment

Ingredients

1-½ pounds salmon filet skinless and boneless, finely chopped
⅔ cup panko breadcrumbs
¼ cup red onion finely chopped
1 tablespoon Ranch seasoning
1 clove garlic minced
1 tablespoon lime juice (juice of 1 lime)
3 tablespoons sour cream
2 tablespoons honey Dijon mustard
salt and pepper to taste, optional
brioche hamburger buns
assorted toppings (such as lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, cheese slices, condiments, etc.)

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, combine chopped salmon, breadcrumbs, onion, Ranch seasoning, and garlic. Mix well.
Add lime juice, sour cream, and mustard. Stir until fully combined.
Form mixture into 4 patties. Mixture will be sticky but should hold together.
Chill patties in the fridge while preheating your grill.
Preheat grill to 450°F.
Grill patties for 4 minutes on one side. Flip and grill another 4 to 5 minutes until cooked through.
Remove patties from the grill. Lightly toast buns on the grill or in the air fryer.
Assemble burgers with desired toppings and serve.

Notes

🥡 STORAGE

Store cooked patties in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.

♨️ REHEATING

Air Fryer: 300°F for 3 to 4 minutes
Skillet: Reheat over low heat until warmed through
Oven: 300°F for 8 to 10 minutes
Microwave: Use low power in short bursts to avoid drying out (cover with a damp paper towel)

❄️ FREEZING

Freeze uncooked patties on a parchment-lined baking sheet until solid, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag. Cook from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the grill time.

💡 TIPS FOR BEST RESULTS

Use brioche or ciabatta buns for better structure.
Chill the patties before grilling to help them stay firm.
Add pickles, relish, or spices like paprika and chili powder to change up the flavor.
Use seasoned breadcrumbs for extra depth.

🍳 ALTERNATE COOKING METHODS

Air Fryer: Preheat to 375°F. Lightly spray the basket and cook patties for 8 to 10 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Oven: Preheat to 400°F. Place patties on a lightly greased parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 12 to 14 minutes, flipping once.
Stovetop: Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat with a bit of oil. Cook the patties for 4 to 5 minutes per side, or until they are browned and cooked through.
