My family loves salmon burgers! They’re easy to make and quite tasty. I always try to stock my pantry with several cans of pink salmon. And, when we’re in the mood for a good comfort food, we opt for a salmon burger, which is a great alternative to eating red meat.
You can see from the ingredients in the photo that this burger is inexpensive and very easy to make. For those of you that cook with a recipe(I’m not one of them), here’s how I make my burgers:
- In a medium bowl, mix 1 cup of instant mashed potatoes with a 1/2 cup of boiling water
- Remove the small bones in the salmon and place salmon in bowl with mashed potatoes
- Add eggs to mashed potatoes and salmon, and mix thoroughly
- Add seafood seasoning, if desired
- Form salmon mixture into burgers
- Coat each burger with breadcrumbs (I love the Kikkoman Panko breadcrumbs)
- Pour oil (I used sunflower) in skillet (enough to cover bottom of pan) and heat
- Pan fry burgers(make sure oil is hot), on medium heat, until golden brown on both sides
- When done, place burgers on paper towel to absorb any excess oil
- Enjoy your burger any way you’d like! (We eat our burgers on potato or wheat rolls with lettuce, tomatoes, and cocktail sauce)
- Yum!
