Salmon Burgers: Canned Salmon or Fresh Salmon?

Now… let’s talk about salmon.

Question: Can this recipe be made with fresh salmon?

Answer: Yes. You can use leftover, already cooked steamed, poached, grilled, baked or whatever you have… salmon.

Question: Canned Salmon?

Answer: I do use canned salmon, most of the time.

I have a couple of varieties I like best; Bear & Wolf, Trident – found at Costco, or Wild Planet canned salmon at Whole Foods. What makes these Salmon Burgers so convenient is having canned salmon in the pantry. It’s always there and ready for these truly easy, 15-minute lunches or dinners.

Ingredients 

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 (6-oz) canned Salmon
  • 1/2 cup dry plain breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 -1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped
  • 4 tablespoons finely minced celery
  • 2 tablespoons finely minced sweet onion
  • 2 large eggs slightly beaten

Instructions

  • Drain and flake the salmon apart. Mix it thoroughly with all the ingredients and form 4 to 6 patties. I like to use a 1/3 cup measure so they are roughly the same size.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat in a non-stick skillet. Cook patties, flipping once, until golden brown and crispy, about 3 minutes per side. Place on a paper towel-lined plate, sprinkle with salt to taste. Serve on a toasted bun with greens and a smear of Dijon mustard.

Notes

  1. Canned Salmon: My favorite canned salmon is Bear & Wolf, Trident Costco, or Wild Planet.
  2. Herbs: When my herb garden is in full swing, I add a variety of herbs to the salmon patty mixture. My favorite combination is still parsley and chives.
