Tips:

Use fresh salmon. Fresh salmon will give your burgers the best flavor and texture. If you can't find fresh salmon, you can use frozen salmon, but be sure to thaw it completely before cooking.
Don't overcook the salmon. Salmon is a delicate fish, so it's important to cook it carefully. Overcooked salmon will be dry and tough.
Use a light touch when mixing the ingredients. Overmixing will make the burgers tough.
Form the burgers gently. Don't press down on them too hard, or they will fall apart.
Cook the burgers over medium heat. This will help to prevent them from sticking to the pan.
Serve the burgers immediately. Salmon burgers are best when served hot off the grill.

Salmon burgers are a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional beef burgers. They're easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Whether you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal or a special dish to serve at a party, salmon burgers are a great option.
