Year’s ago we had salmon burgers at a restaurant for the first time. And there was something about the zesty flavor, and the toasty bun that had us wanting more.
These spicy salmon burgers go great with a simple slaw, or salad on the side. Vary the spices & peppers if you don’t like yours as spicy. Serve them up with a garlic or chipotle mayo and watch them disappear!
We hope you enjoy our these salmon burgers as a nice change of pace for your burger night!
