Instructions

Prepare the Salmon Burgers

In a large bowl, combine finely chopped salmon, breadcrumbs, egg, Dijon mustard, mayonnaise, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, lemon juice, and fresh parsley.

Mix until well combined, then shape into 4 equal-sized patties.

Refrigerate the patties for at least 20 minutes to help them hold their shape.

Grill the Salmon Burgers

Preheat a grill or stovetop grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates.

Grill the salmon patties for about 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.

Prepare the Avocado Salsa

In a small bowl, combine diced avocado, red onion, tomato, lime juice, cilantro, salt, and black pepper. Gently mix.

Assemble the Burgers

Place lettuce on the bottom half of each toasted burger bun.

Add the grilled salmon patty and top with avocado salsa.

Add sliced red onion and tomato if desired. Cover with the top bun and serve immediately.
