How to Make Fresh Salmon Burger

  1. Coarsely chop 1 pound of salmon fillets into 1-inch pieces using a sharp knife.
  2. Place the chopped salmon in a food processor. Pulse 5-6 times, just until coarsely chopped. Be careful not to over-process and create a mushy texture.
  3. In a large bowl, gently combine the pulsed salmon with 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill, 1 tablespoon lemon zest, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  4. Gently form the salmon mixture into 6 patties, each about 3 inches in diameter and 1 inch thick.
  5. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 375-400°F). Lightly brush the grill grates with vegetable oil.
  6. Carefully place the salmon patties on the preheated grill. Grill for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  7. Serve the salmon burgers immediately on toasted buns. Top with your favorite condiments such as dill mayo (1/4 cup mayonnaise mixed with 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill), fruit salsa, or relish.
