Note

Sauce Preparation: The yogurt-cucumber sauce can be made up to 24 hours in advance. Allow it to come to room temperature for 10 minutes before serving if preferred.

Storage: Store leftover salmon burgers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave.

Variations: For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free panko or crushed gluten-free crackers instead of regular bread crumbs.

Tip: Ensure the salmon is well-drained before mixing to prevent the patties from falling apart. If the mixture feels too wet, add a tablespoon more bread crumbs.

Safety: Ensure the internal temperature of the salmon patties reaches 145&# 194;°F (63ðC) for food safety.
