Ingredients
Scale
Salmon Patties:
- 1 pound skinless salmon fillet, finely chopped or pulsed in a food processor
- 1 cup fresh spinach, finely chopped
- 1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs (or almond flour for low carb)
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons red onion, finely minced
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- olive oil for cooking
Instructions
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the chopped salmon, spinach, feta, breadcrumbs, egg, red onion, garlic, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Mix until evenly combined.
- Form Patties: Form the mixture into 4 equal patties and place them on a plate. Refrigerate for 15–20 minutes to help them firm up.
- Cook Patties: Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the salmon burgers for 4–5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve: Serve warm on buns, in lettuce wraps, or over salad with your favorite sauce or yogurt dill dressing.

- Use canned salmon (drained and flaked) if fresh isn’t available—about two 6-ounce cans.
- These burgers can also be baked at 400°F for 12–15 minutes, flipping halfway.
