Instructions
-
Roughly chop the salmon fillets into small chunks and place them in a food processor. Pulse until coarsely ground but not a paste (you want some texture).
-
Transfer the ground salmon to a large mixing bowl. Add the breadcrumbs, red onion, parsley, Dijon mustard, Greek yogurt, beaten egg white, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined.
-
Form the mixture into 4 patties, about 1/2-inch thick. Place the patties on a plate and refrigerate for at least 10 minutes to help them firm up.
-
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the salmon patties and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
-
Serve the salmon burgers on a whole grain bun or lettuce wrap with your favorite toppings, like sliced avocado, lettuce, tomato, and a dollop of tzatziki or Greek yogurt sauce.
