Healthy Salmon Burger

Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Total Time 20 minutes
Servings 2 burgers

Ingredients

For the burgers

  • ½ lb salmon fillets chopped
  • 2 tablespoons oats
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon onion powder
  • ¼ teaspoon dried thyme
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

For the herb cream cheese

  • 4 oz low-fat cream cheese
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (from approx ½ a lemon)
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon onion powder
  • ¼ teaspoon dried thyme
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt

Healthy salmon burger toppings (optional)

  • lettuce leaves
  • sliced tomato
  • sliced onion
  • burger buns

Instructions

  • Place all the ingredients for the salmon burgers into the bowl of a food processor and pulse several times until the salmon has broken down and the seasonings are mixed in. Don't pulse too much - you still want a few salmon chunks for texture.
  • Tip the salmon mix onto a clean counter and divide into 2. Mold each half into a patty using your hands.
  • Place a large non-stick pan over a medium-high heat and cook the burgers for 4 minutes on each side. While the burgers are cooking, stir together all the ingredients needed for the herb cream cheese and chill until needed.
  • Spread the herb cream cheese on top of the burgers and enjoy. Alternatively, add some lettuce, tomato and onion to your burgers and sandwich them inside a bun for a yummy, filling sandwich.
