My boys always enjoy a good beef slider, but lately I’ve been reaching for salmon burgers or vegetarian options like black bean sliders that are healthier.

Yes, canned salmon can be used in a pinch, but the texture is infinitely better when you use fresh fish, which is one trick to making these burgers so special.

Don’t forget a side of watermelon when serving these burgers with Jicama and Carrot Slaw or Strawberry Arugula Salad.

FAQ

How long does it take to grill a salmon burger?

Clean the grill grates completely before cooking the salmon burgers on them. If the burger is sticking to the grill, it is not yet ready to flip; cook it for one more minute or until it comes off the grill easily.

How do you keep salmon burgers from sticking to the grill?

In order to prevent the burgers from sticking to the grill grates, remove the salmon from the refrigerator, coat both sides of each burger with extra virgin olive oil, and grill for 6 minutes over direct heat.

How do you keep salmon burgers from falling apart?

If the patties are too dry, add a little bit of salmon juice back into the mixture. How to Make Salmon Patties Stick Together: Add breadcrumbs, panko, or crushed saltine crackers to the salmon, along with the eggs.
