Ingredients & Equipment You’ll Need
- 1 pound salmon, skin removed
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon Cajun spice
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Buns, lettuce, and avocado for serving
You’re gonna need a decent food processor to get that salmon perfectly minced, plus a solid grilling pan.
How To Make Cajun Salmon Burgers
- First, combine the salmon, green onions, and garlic in your food processor. Give it a quick blitz until it’s finely minced but not mushy.
- Transfer the salmon mixture to a bowl, add the egg, breadcrumbs, Cajun spice, salt, and pepper, and mix it all together well.
- Form your mixture into 4 even patties, then heat up your grilling pan over medium heat.
- Cook your patties for about 7 minutes on each side, or until they’re beautifully browned and cooked through. Time to serve them up on fresh buns, topped with crisp lettuce and rich, creamy avocado. Yum!
Tips For The Best Results
- Be sure to not overprocess the salmon. It should be finely chopped, not turned into a paste.
- For a smoky flavor, cook your patties on a grill instead.
Storage Tips
- Leftover patties can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- For longer storage, freeze the patties wrapped in foil for up to a month.
