Step 1
Tos the salmon chunks, parsley, bread crumbs, green onion, seafood seasoning, lemon juice, salt, and pepper into a food processor. Give it a few quick pulses until the salmon is chopped up but not mushy. Then, shape the mixture into four even patties.
Step 2
Heat some olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the patties and cook them for about 4 minutes on each side, until they’re nicely golden brown and cooked through. Keep an eye on them so they don’t burn, and you’re good to go!
Perfect Side Pairings
These burgers taste great on a toasted whole-grain bun with crisp lettuce, ripe tomato slices, and a dollop of tangy yogurt or aioli. Add a side of sweet potato fries or a simple green salad to complete the meal.
How To Preserve This Dish
Store any leftover patties in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. Reheat gently in a pan or oven to keep them moist. For longer storage, freeze the uncooked patties on a baking sheet before transferring them to a freezer bag for up to one month.
