yummy salmon burgers with slaw
They are also easy to make and require (usually) minimal, if not zero, grocery shopping, assuming you keep a decently stocked pantry. I love, love, love these crispy pan-fried little guys.
And as if the salmon burgers weren’t good enough already to eat on their own (which, um, they are), I need you to make this slaw to serve your salmon burgers in/on/around. It is nothing fancy – just a shredded cabbage, yogurt, herbs, garlic, and vinegar situation, but paired with the salmon burgers? the crispy-salty-tangy combo is an ON POINT combo. Plus, again with the super nutrition. Plus Sugar Free January friendly.
salmon burgers with slaw
Yield: 3–4 burgers 1x
DESCRIPTION
These salmon burgers are THE YUMMIEST! and made with just five ingredients. The best for a quick + easy high protein lunch or dinner.
INGREDIENTS
Salmon Burgers
12–14 ounces cooked salmon
2 eggs
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 cup chopped fresh herbs, like chives, parsley, or dill
a squeeze of lemon juice
olive oil for pan-frying
Cabbage Slaw:
1 head green cabbage, finely shredded
1 cup plain Greek yogurt
2–3 tablespoons white distilled vinegar (more to taste)
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 cup chopped fresh herbs like chives, parsley, or cilantro
a drizzle of olive oil
INSTRUCTIONS
For the Salmon Burgers: Flake the salmon apart. Mix all burger ingredients together and form into 3 large or 4 medium patties. Heat olive oil over medium heat, ideally in a nonstick skillet. Fry the burgers for a few minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Place on a paper towel lined plate and sprinkle with salt.
For the Slaw: Mix all slaw ingredients together. Taste and adjust.
Serve: Serve up those hot salmon burgers on a bed of creamy slaw. I top mine with a dollop of extra yogurt and a swizzle of oil and more herbs. Can’t stop me.
NOTES
Breadcrumbs are important here. Panko gives a really nice texture whereas whole wheat breadcrumbs would be a good choice if you want to skip the refined grains. If you use a seasoned breadcrumb mix, reduce the amount of salt in the burgers by about 1/2.
