Samantha, for this recipe you need uncooked salmon (vs. canned salmon which is cooked). If you are looking for a recipe with canned salmon, check out these salmon patties. You could make them larger and serve them as burgers: https://www.wellplated.com/salmon-patty-recipe/
This recipe was phenomenal, easy and super light! Definitely worth the time dicing up the salmon filet and refrigerating the burgers for an hour-plus definitely helped them stay together. Another Well Plated success story!
This recipe is awesome! The burgers were delicious and very easy to make and the sauce went quite well with them. Though I made the burgers in a skillet atop the stove, I browned them nicely by oiling the pan really well, putting a lid on the skillet, and turning the temperature up high for around three minutes before cooking them a few more minutes and flipping. That added a nice flavor to them (though it dries them out a bit) and I served them on hamburger buns with romaine lettuce and sliced tomatoes. Thank you for creating this easy and wonderful recipe!
This was beyond!! Much simpler than I thought – I made for a large group of people and it was loved by everyone. Served with sweet potato fries and a side salad. Delish!
Fantastic and so fresh! Added celery salt instead of regular salt, which was a great flavor addition. Removing the skin and mincing the salmon was a pain, but worth it. Adding this recipe to my arsenal.
I made these today for my husband. I didn’t have ground ginger, so I substituted fresh. Otherwise, I followed the recipe as written. The burgers were delicious and easy to make. I will definitely be making these again.
Erin,
I loved this recipe! I used Mayo because I didn’t have yogurt on hand. Before placing them in the pan to fry, I sprinkled the patties lightly with plain Panko. The result was amazing: flavorful, crispy on the outside and tender/moist on the inside. I served on Focaccia with the sauce, arugula and tomato. So good!!!
P.S. I found an easy way to remove the skin from salmon: bring about a 1/2 inch of water to boil in a frying pan; place the salmon in it, skin down. Let sit for about a minute and remove. Using a spatula, the skin will easily peel off.

Hi Lorna! I’m truly sorry for any inconvenience the ads caused you! I will certainly keep paying close attention to the number of ads and how they load, as I never want them to hinder your ability to view the recipe or the blog post. I do truly appreciate your feedback and apologize again for the inconvenience!
Hey Erin! I love this recipe so much (and all your recipes to be honest)! Do you think it would work if I used any other fish as well or would the greek yogurt be overpowering? I have heaps of cod and haddock leftover from a fish chipper dinner.
Hi Bern! Thank you for this kind review! I have not tested this recipe with any other fish so it would be hard to say if it would work or not. If you decide to experiment, let me know how it goes!
Tasty. Light. I liked them. Thank you. I used fresh salmon which I minced very small. Held patty shape nicely. (I refrigerated them for 25 min) I would not recommend canned salmon.
Hi MaryJo! So glad you enjoyed the recipe! Thank you for this kind review! I don’t recommend it either for these burgers. We use it for our salmon patties recipe.
I have made these 4 times now. This time I also added garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, a bit of cayenne and smoked paprika and finally some coriander and cumin powder. They gave them an extra kick and the taste was phenomenal! My family love these so much, we’ve decided to prep these weekly for our meals!
Wow…wow…wow! I just made these and they are DELICIOUS!!! I was nervous about the combination of ingredients, but the flavour is perfect. I made six burgers for more of a ‘slider’ result. These went down a treat. Thank you, Erin, for sharing this simple, tasty recipe with us!
Hi Linda, so glad you enjoyed it. Non dairy yogurt should be ok. Using the food processor might grind it too much, but you could try. If you decide to give it a try, let me know how it goes.
Thanks for the recipe! The salmon burgers were delicious and helped me stay on track with my diet. I added a little slap ya momma seasoning to the salmon seasoning. I don’t even like salmon that much but these changed my mind. I used low carb multi grain bread instead of buns, and topped it with lettuce, a tomato slice, red onion, avocado and a little gourmet chipotle mayo. I will definitely be making these going forward!
Hi! This sauce is great over any kind of seafood, but you could possibly use it on sandwiches, pile it onto baked potatoes, and dollop it onto grilled veggies or dip some air fryer cauliflower into it. Enjoy! https://www.wellplated.com/air-fryer-cauliflower/
These are sooo yummy! I grilled them on a copper slip at mat and they came out beautifully.
I can’t give it t 4.75 because the app won’t allow it. I do get frustrated when recipe says 10 minutes of prep. Really??? I doubled the recipe, so that adds more, but it took me close to an hour to do the prep. Reasonable prep estimates with fresh filets is 40 including everything.
What a nice spin on a burger. This is the first time I’ve had a salmon burger and being not the biggest fan of fish, I adore this! I will definitely be making this again, thank you so much for this recipe!
Could you use canned salmon vs. fillets?

Hi Dennis! So glad you enjoyed the recipe! Thank you for this kind review!
I loved these! I used cilantro and because I did not have chives, the green tops of green onion. The sauce was good too! Will make again! Thanks!

Yay! Thank you KayL!
these are so great. love them. I wondering if I can use my food processor instead of chopping the salmon. Also, can I use a non dairy yogurt?
