Description

These Honey Glazed Salmon Burgers offer a delightful twist on the classic burger, combining the rich, flaky texture of canned salmon with a vibrant, tangy glaze. The mixture of salmon, breadcrumbs, and onions creates a sturdy yet tender patty that holds together beautifully on the grill or in a skillet. The homemade sauce, blending honey, ketchup, cider vinegar, and prepared horseradish, adds a complex layer of sweetness with a sharp, zesty kick that cuts through the richness of the fish. Perfect for weeknight dinners or summer barbecues, these burgers are served on toasted buns with extra sauce for dipping. They are a satisfying, protein-packed meal that appeals to both seafood lovers and fans of traditional burger nights.

Directions

In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, ketchup, cider vinegar, prepared horseradish, minced garlic, and crushed red pepper flakes until smooth. Set aside half of this sauce to use as a condiment for serving.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained salmon, bread crumbs, chopped onion, chopped green bell pepper, and egg whites.
Add 2 tablespoons of the prepared honey sauce to the salmon mixture and gently mix until well combined.
Divide the mixture evenly into 4 portions and shape each into a patty about 1/2-inch thick.
Preheat grill to medium-high heat and lightly brush the grill rack with vegetable oil.
Place the salmon patties on the grill and cook for about 5 minutes per side, turning 2 to 3 times.
Baste the burgers with the remaining honey sauce while cooking, ensuring they are browned and heated through.
Serve the warm salmon burgers on toasted buns, topped with the reserved honey barbecue sauce.

Note

Make sure the canned salmon is well-drained to prevent the patties from becoming too wet. If the mixture feels too loose, add a tablespoon more breadcrumbs.

For a milder flavor, reduce the amount of prepared horseradish and red pepper flakes. For extra heat, add a dash of hot sauce to the glaze.

These burgers can also be cooked in a skillet over medium heat if you do not have a grill. Use the vegetable oil to grease the pan.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or oven.
