Anyone else super duper into burgers? I could eat a burger every dang day. But let’s change up the burger game and make a salmon burger that’s fresh, zesty, and oh so filling. This salmon burger is off the hook yummy, and particularly helpful when you don’t feel like sparking up the grill. Make it in a cast iron pan, wrap it in lettuce, and boom, you’ve got an easy summer burger.
I never get tired of burgers. Ever. But c’mon, let’s add some different kinds of burgers to our repertoire and keep our collective burger games on point.

Tried this recipe?Let us know how it was!
This was a great recipe! I really enjoyed the dill in it.
Do you start with raw or cooked salmons and are they cut more into cubes or shreds?
I always use raw salmon, and it takes some time to cut it off the skin, but it’s worth it in the end!

why grapeseed oil? Just checking so I understand the right oil to use.
Use olive oil! I will change that on this post, thanks!
