Canned salmon is a convenient and economical alternative to fresh, and it’s ideal for easy burgers. Don’t worry about any bones in the mix. When cooked, they become undetectable, and they are a source of calcium.
Ingredients
15 ounces canned salmon, drained (2 to 3 cans)
1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 teaspoons dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 burger buns (preferably brioche), toasted
butter lettuce leaves, avocado slices, and sliced
red onion, for serving
ketchup and mayonnaise, for serving
Directions
Combine the salmon, panko, mayonnaise, mustard, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Form into 4 patties and place on a parchment-lined plate. Refrigerate for 10 minutes.
Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick or cast-iron skillet. Cook the patties until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Serve on the toasted buns with lettuce, avocado, red onion, ketchup, and mayonnaise.
