A healthy, flavorful, and tender alternative to beef burgers.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re craving a flavorful salmon burger that\u2019s fresh and zesty, you\u2019ve come to the right place! This Mediterranean salmon burger is packed full of healthy ingredients and comes out looking beautiful. Even your guests that typically prefer a traditional beef burger will be tempted to try one of these salmon patties. That bright pinkish-orange color mixed with chives, sumac, and dijon mustard is a sight to behold. Combine that with tzatziki sauce, sliced red onion, dark red tomatoes, and baby arugula inside of a whole wheat bun, and you\u2019ve got yourself a healthy meal.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why We Love Salmon Burgers!<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"Switch\"Switch<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re reading this, you\u2019re probably a salmon lover like me. Eating salmon is a great way to maintain a healthy and clean diet. Not only is it rich in antioxidants, but it\u2019s also an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids\u2013 which are considered \u201cessential\u201d fats. That\u2019s because our bodies don\u2019t produce omega-3 fatty acids on their own, so we must get them from our diets. Furthermore, salmon is also a fantastic source of protein!<\/span><\/p>\n

Plus, it\u2019s such a diverse fish \u2014 there are so many ways to prepare salmon. You can sautee it, grill it, cook it in white wine sauce, bake it, pair it with salads, etc. The possibilities are endless!<\/span><\/p>\n

However, salmon tends to be relatively expensive, which is why I love this recipe. By combining the salmon in a food processor with dijon mustard, low-fat mayo, chives, ground coriander, and other ingredients, you can increase the volume so that it yields more patties. You can even add some vegetables and bread crumbs to the patty mixture if you have a couple more guests than you were anticipating. <\/span><\/p>\n

The Devil Is In The Details When Preparing the Patties<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"Want\"Want<\/p>\n

As long as you have a food processor at home, making these salmon patties is a breeze. Just make sure to cut your fillets into small chunks first, and be sure that they are skinless and boneless. You\u2019ll want to start by adding a quarter of your salmon chunks into the food processor with the dijon mustard and mayo so that you have a nice liquidy paste before you add the rest of the salmon and other ingredients. If you\u2019re trying to make your patties even healthier, you can substitute the mayo for egg whites. The mayo or egg whites will act as the binding agent. Without it, your patties will fall apart when you cook them in the pan, and nobody wants a crumbly Mediterranean salmon burger!<\/span><\/p>\n

You\u2019ll also want to be careful when cooking them. Salmon patties have a tendency to burn on the outside before the inside is cooked. You might want to consider cooking just one patty first so that you can get the temperature right before you cook the rest of them.<\/span><\/p>\n

What to Serve With Mediterranean Salmon Burgers<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"These\"These<\/p>\n

In the summer months, I like to serve these Mediterranean salmon burgers with something bright and healthy, like our <\/span>avocado, tomato, and cucumber salad<\/a>.<\/strong> If you want some healthy french fries to accompany these burgers, my go-to recipe is our <\/span>baked sweet potato fries<\/a> <\/strong> because they\u2019ll help you avoid the deep fryer (and a few hundred excess calories!)<\/span><\/p>\n
