Healthy Dill Salmon Burgers are homemade salmon patties with lemon and dill, served with my special salmon burger sauce! The sauce is made with dill, lemon, garlic, and mayo slathered on the burgers.
How to Make Dill Salmon Burgers
Salmon burgers don’t have to be tasteless and dried out. I have tips for making flavorful patties using a special ingredient that locks in moisture. Plus, I have a quick and easy lemon dill sauce that complements the fish.
Ingredient and dietary restriction substitution ideas
- Make gluten free salmon burgers. Use gluten free breadcrumbs and serve with gluten free burger buns.
- Omit the capers if you don’t like them or don’t have them on hand. It won’t significantly alter the recipe.
- Swap dill for a different fresh herb. I think parsley or basil would taste great! You can also try a cilantro lime salmon burger by using cilantro and swapping lemon juice for lime juice.
- Farm raised salmon vs wild salmon: I used sustainably farmed fresh Atlantic salmon for this salmon burger recipe. Atlantic salmon has a higher fat content than wild caught sockeye or king salmon, which helps keep these salmon burgers rich and moist. You can try using fresh wild caught salmon for this recipe, but they might be a bit drier.
