5-Star Salmon Burgers: A Delicious Twist on a Classic

Packed with flavor and texture, they combine the hearty richness of canned salmon with the bright, fresh notes of dill, lemon, and Dijon mustard. Perfectly seasoned and seared to golden perfection, these burgers are a seafood lover’s dream.
Quick, Easy, and Irresistible
What makes these salmon burgers so special? It’s their simplicity. In just 30 minutes, you can go from pantry staples to a gourmet meal. The ingredients mix effortlessly, with the beaten egg and breadcrumbs binding everything together while allowing the salmon’s flavor to shine. The touch of Worcestershire sauce and red pepper flakes gives a subtle depth and a gentle kick to every bite.
Trackers-Inspired Perfection
This recipe brings a taste of the Alaskan wilderness right to your table, inspired by the unforgettable salmon burgers at Trackers Bar and Grill in Fairbanks. The high-hint of dill and the citrusy zest of lemon capture the essence of a fresh, vibrant Alaskan meal. Each burger is a tribute to that rustic, hearty dining experience.
Fixins’ That Elevate
The secret to any great burger lies in its fixins’. These salmon burgers are no exception. Pile them high with crisp romaine lettuce, juicy slices of tomato, and a few rings of sharp red onion for crunch and flavor. A dollop of creamy mayonnaise spread on a toasted hamburger bun ties everything together in a symphony of textures.

Whether it’s a busy weeknight or a relaxed weekend dinner, these salmon burgers fit the bill. Their ease of preparation makes them a go-to recipe, while their elevated flavors make them worthy of serving to guests.
