Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb fresh salmon skin removed and finely chopped

  3. Step 3: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  4. Step 4: Cook the salmon patties for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  5. Step 5: While the patties are cooking, prepare the lemon-dill sauce by mixing the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl.
  6. Step 6: Toast the burger buns lightly if desired.
  7. Step 7: Assemble the burgers by placing a salmon patty on the bottom bun, topping with lettuce and tomato slices, and drizzling with the lemon-dill sauce.
  8. Step 8: Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free breadcrumbs and buns. You can also grill the patties instead of pan-frying for a smokier flavor.
