- 1 ¼ lbs boneless and skinless salmon
- 2 tsp dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp lemon juice

- ¾ tsp salt

Rough chop the salmon into large pieces and place in a food processor and pulse until the salmon has been broken into small pieces like a fine dice.
Remove the blade of the food processor and add in the rest of the ingredients. Using a spatula, or your hands, mix until everything is well incorporated.
Form 4 patties with the salmon mixture and compact them tightly with your hands.
Heat a large skillet with olive oil and cook the patties for 3 to 4 minutes per side.
Assemble the burgers using the burger toppings you like. My favorites are lettuce, sliced onion, and tomato.
- Avoid overprocessing the salmon in the food processor. You want there to be some texture in the patties still.
- Don’t make the patties too thin. Thicker patties retain more moisture and are juicier.
- Fish, in general, easily overcooks. I highly recommend using an instant-read meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. Salmon is cooked through once the internal temperature has reached 120°F to 135°F.
- Buying skinned salmon saves you time from having to do it yourself.
- If you’re having trouble shaping the patties, refrigerate the salmon mixture for 10 minutes before trying again.
- I prefer using fresh lemons as bottled lemon juice doesn’t have the same bright taste.
