Best 5 Salmon Burgers With Yogurt Dill Sauce Recipes

SALMON BURGERS WITH YOGURT-DILL SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat broiler, with rack set 4 inches from heat. In a medium bowl, combine salmon, horseradish, lemon zest and juice, egg, scallions, breadcrumbs, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper; mix gently with a fork.
• Form salmon mixture into four 3 1/2-by-1-inch patties; place on a rimmed baking sheet. Broil without turning until browned on top and opaque throughout, 6 to 7 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine yogurt and dill in a small bowl; season with salt and pepper. Serve burgers on buns with yogurt-dill sauce and lettuce.

PERFECT SALMON BURGERS

Steps:

• Cut three-quarters of the salmon into 1/4-inch pieces. Put in a large bowl. Cut the rest of the salmon into chunks; transfer the chunks to a food processor along with the mustard, mayonnaise, lemon juice, lemon zest and cayenne. Pulse to make a paste. Add the pureed salmon mixture to the bowl with the diced salmon. Add the scallions, 2 tablespoons panko, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and black pepper to taste. Gently mix until just combined.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and brush with olive oil. Divide the salmon mixture into 4 mounds on the parchment paper. With damp hands, pat into 4-inch-wide, 3/4-inch-thick patties. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 30 minutes.
• Preheat the broiler. Spread the remaining 1 cup panko on a plate. Press both sides of the salmon patties in the panko. Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the patties (in batches if necessary) and cook until browned on the bottom, 3 to 4 minutes, adjusting the heat if necessary. Turn and cook until the other side is browned and the patties feel springy in the center, 3 to 4 more minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain; season with salt.
• Meanwhile, arrange the buns, cut-side up, on a broiler pan and broil until toasted, 1 to 2 minutes. Serve the patties on the buns; top with tartar sauce and arugula.

SALMON BURGERS WITH A YOGURT DILL SAUCE

Steps:

• Lightly cook salmon, after thawing if frozen. An easy way is to poach in very hot but not boiling water for about 4-5 minutes. Do not cover salmon with water, only allowing water to be about half way up the fillets. Set aside.
• Put egg in bowl, lightly beat. Mix in 1 tbsp horseradish, lemon zest, lemon juice, scallions, breadcrumbs, tsp of salt and 1/8 tsp pepper. Mix evenly.
• In another bowl, break up salmon into small pieces/flakes.
• Pour egg mixture from step two on to of salmon, and mix until salmon is thoroughly covered with mixture.
• Cover glass or similar dish with foil (saves on cleanup!). Make four similarly-sized balls of this salmon mixture using your hands and space evenly on the dish.
• Press each ball into a patty of about 3.5in in diameter and 1 inch thickness.
• Cover the dish and the salmon patties and place in fridge for at least 30 minutes. This helps the patties maintain their shape.
• While patties are in fridge, mix yogurt, dill, salt, pepper and 1 tbsp horseradish (to taste) in a small bowl to make sauce. Cover and refrigerate. The longer this sauce is in the fridge, the stronger the dill flavor.
• Remove patties from refrigerator.
• Heat a pan or skillet to medium to high heat. Pour a small amount of olive oil in the skillet, and when hot place patty or patties (can do one one or more at a time depending on your comfort level) in pan.
• Let sizzle until brown on one side, and then flip. If you made the patties well and refrigerated them, flipping should be easy.
• When brown on both sides, place on bun of your choice, toasted or prepared however you like (I like to brush bun with olive oil, parmesan cheese and hot pepper before toasting in convection oven).
• Cover with yogurt dill sauce, and add lettuce, tomatoes, etc. Serve immediately.

FRESH SALMON BURGERS WITH LEMON-YOGURT SAUCE

Steps:

• Chop salmon into 1/8- to 1/4-inch pieces. Transfer to a bowl with 2 eggs, 2/3 cup parsley, 1/4 cup green onions, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, bread crumbs, seafood seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper; mix together with your hands. Divide into 8 equal portions and pat into 3 1/2-inch patties (1/2 inch thick). Chill, covered, at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours.
• Stir together yogurt, mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons parsley, 2 tablespoons green onion, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1/8 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl.
• Preheat an outdoor grill to medium heat (325 degrees F to 375 degrees F).
• Brush patties with oil. Oil grate. Grill patties, turning carefully, until cooked through and a thermometer inserted in center of each patty registers 160 degrees F, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Serve on buns with sauce and arugula.
