Yield Makes 4 burgers

Number Of Ingredients 13

For the red pepper mayo:
1 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup (packed) coarsely chopped and drained roasted red bell peppers
2 teaspoons drained capers
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
For the burgers:
1/2 cup plain breadcrumbs
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
18 ounces canned salmon, drained, picked through, flaked
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
4 hamburger buns
1/3 cup drained roasted red bell peppers, cut into 1/4" strips

Steps:

  • Make the red pepper mayo:
  • Blend mayonnaise, bell peppers, capers, lemon juice, and salt in a blender, scraping down sides if needed, until smooth. Transfer to a small bowl.
  • Cook and assemble the burgers:
  • Mix breadcrumbs, pepper, and 1/2 cup red pepper mayo in a large bowl. Gently fold in flaked salmon. Divide mixture into 4 patties about 1/2" thick and 4" wide.
  • Heat 1 Tbsp. oil in a large nonstick or cast-iron skillet over medium-high until shimmering. Working in batches, cook buns, cut side down, until golden brown and toasted, about 2 minutes. Divide among plates.
  • Heat remaining 1 Tbsp. oil in same skillet. Cook salmon patties until golden brown and heated through, 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer burgers to bun bottoms. Spread about 2 tsp. red pepper mayo over burgers. Arrange bell pepper strips over, then top with bun to close.
  • Do Ahead
  • Red pepper mayo can be made 5 days ahead. Store in a resealable container and chill. Burger patties can be formed 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.

These burgers were delicious! The salmon was cooked perfectly and the red pepper mayo was the perfect complement. I will definitely be making these again.

I loved the flavor of these burgers, but I thought they were a bit too oily. I might try baking them next time instead of frying them.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my burgers turned out really dry. I think I might have overcooked them.

I thought these burgers were just okay. They were a bit bland for my taste, and the red pepper mayo didn't really do anything for me.

These burgers were a bit dry, but the red pepper mayo helped to add some moisture. I think I'll try adding some chopped vegetables to the burgers next time.

I'm not a big fan of salmon, but I really enjoyed these burgers. The red pepper mayo helped to balance out the flavor of the salmon.
