Fresh Salmon Burgers with Lemon Yogurt Sauce

These fresh salmon burgers are a little like crab cakes, but they’re made with fresh salmon and grilled. The secret to juicy (not pasty!) salmon burgers is to chop the salmon coarsely with a knife.

Ingredients

Burgers

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 8 brioche buns, split and toasted
  • 2 cups fresh arugula

Sauce

  • ½ cup plain yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons light mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped green onion
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 ½ pounds salmon fillets, skin and pin bones removed
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 2/3 cup finely chopped parsley
  • ¼ cup finely chopped green onions
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • ½ cup plain dried bread crumbs
  • 1 tablespoon seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1
Make the burgers: Chop salmon into 1/8- to 1/4-inch pieces. Transfer to a bowl with eggs, parsley, green onions, lemon juice, bread crumbs, seafood seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix together with your hands. Divide into eight equal portions and shape into 1/2-inch thick patties that are 3 1/2 inches in diameter. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours.

Step 2
When ready to cook, preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate. Brush patties with oil.

Step 3
Grill patties on the preheated grill, turning carefully, until cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

Step 4
Make the sauce: Stir together yogurt, mayonnaise, parsley, green onion, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.

Step 5
Serve burgers on brioche buns with sauce and arugula.

Tips

Avoid the temptation to use your food processor to chop the salmon.
