The first time I went to Alaska – about 1 1/2 years ago – my future sister in law made the BEST salmon burgers I had ever had. Of course, it was with Alaska salmon! I asked her about them, and she said there really wasn’t anything special about them. So, I never did find out what was in them! All I remember is that she prepared them in the food processor. And to this day, I can’t remember anything else about them!
I know these salmon burgers aren’t as good as hers, but I think they are pretty good! I decided to combine two of my favorite flavors – lemon and dill!
Lemon Dill Salmon Burgers
Print this recipe!
Makes 4 burgers
1 lb salmon, or 1 can 14 oz can Alaskan salmon, drained
1 stalk celery, chopped
2 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
1 lemon, juice and zest
1 tbsp dijon mustard
1 tsp Old Bay Seasoning
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp fresh ground black pepper
Preheat a medium skillet over medium heat.
Mix all ingredients together. Form into 4 patties.
Or, in my case, 4 patties and 1 mini patty for taste testing purposes!
Cook 3-4 minutes, and then flip. Cook 3-4 minutes on the other side.
Serve!
Honestly, I don’t miss the bun. I just served them on a bed of spinach. However, if you would like, you can stick them on a bun.
Happy March 1!

I wish I liked salmon – it’s been a while, so maybe I should give it another go.
I love Chilean sea bass – too bad my store sells it for $20 a pound!

I actually didn’t used to like salmon, and sometimes I still think it is just “too fishy” depending on how it is served .. but I guess you can say that about anything!
Yummmy! This is truly something I am going to try. I really like salmon but never had it patty style
Thank you so much for the recipe

Thanks Maria! And I purposely didn’t put any bread crumbs in it to hold them together … I didn’t think they needed them anyways!
This is a nice alternative to the usual beef burger especially this Lenten season, Jane. Thanks a lot for sharing.

Thanks Malou!
I love salmon, and I’m not sure why I’ve never had a salmon burger! Thanks for sharing this…I am also a big fan of dill, so I’m going to save this one for my next fish dinner night

Oh yes, I heart dill! There is just something so fresh about it!
I made these for dinner yesterday and they tasted so good! Thanks so much for the recipe! I will for sure be making these salmon burgers again!
