SALMON BURGER | easy canned salmon recipe

hello my friends it's danny and today i'm showing you how to make homemade salmon burgers with a creamy dill sauce now the secret to these salmon burgers is using canned salmon i find using canned salmon is a great way to get a super nutritious very delicious high quality ingredient into the kitchen at a fraction of the cost but i'm going to touch more on that later if you are new to the channel welcome if you're looking for more simple healthy everyday recipes like the one i'm sharing with you today please take a moment to subscribe to the channel and ring that notification bell so you never miss a new recipe now i like to get started by making the creamy dill yogurt sauce and i'm just going to start off with a half a cup of plain greek yogurt you could do full fat two percent fat free they all work beautifully so just use whatever you have on hand or whatever you prefer if you are dairy free you can opt for a dairy free yogurt option or you could sub in some mayonnaise then to that i'm adding one clove of crushed garlic two tablespoons of fresh squeezed lemon juice and then two tablespoons of fresh chopped dill which is going to give the sauce a super bright fresh flavor and then i'm just going to season this with some salt and a little bit of black pepper gently mix that all together until you have a nice creamy sauce and all of those ingredients are well incorporated and then i'm going to set that aside while i work on my burgers so we're going to start off with 15 ounces of canned wild salmon now i am such a huge fan of canned salmon if you've never tried it before i'm going to encourage you to keep an open mind it is one of the best deals at the grocery store because you are going to get all of those healthy fats rich quality proteins and you'll get it at a fraction of the cost that you would if you were buying fresh wild salmon so in a recipe like the salmon burgers that we're making today it's a really great option i also have a recipe for a salmon salad that i make all the time that i'll link for you down in the description box below another great way to use canned salmon now here's the thing you can buy canned salmon with the skin and the bones removed it's going to be a little bit pricier or you can buy it where the skin and the bones are still in the can and don't let that freak you out so you can see right here there's a little bit of skin and some bone right here those bones are actually super nutritious they are packed with calcium and they're really soft so i mean if i squish this with my finger it literally just crumbles and once you mix it all together you don't even know it's in there but if it bothers you you could just go ahead and pick them out or splurge for the canned salmon where they are already removed so to the salmon i'm adding a quarter cup each diced red onion diced bell pepper any color we'll do and then some fresh chopped dill which we're mirroring from that sauce we just made then i have two tablespoons of fresh lemon juice and the zest from that very same lemon remember whenever you're zesting a lemon or an orange or any type of citrus fruit you just want to get the bright rind off the outside as soon as you see this thin white layer that lives between the skin and the flesh of the fruit you want to stop because that's the pith and it's a bit bitter okay so you just want to get this bright colored zest on the outside then i'm adding one egg which could also be three egg whites or if you didn't want to use an egg i feel pretty confident that a flax egg could get the job done here as well or a chia egg both would work then i have 1 3 cup of oat flour which you can buy pre-made these days or you can just grind it up yourself if you don't have that on hand you could sub a white whole wheat flour or even an almond flour would work for this recipe then i'm going to give it just a pinch of cayenne pepper it adds just the slightest bit of heat a little bit of kick and some salt and black pepper gently mix that all together until i've got it all well incorporated and all of those ingredients are distributed really well and then i just like to score this mixture into four pieces that just gives me a general idea of how to create the burgers so that they're fairly even in size scoop the mixture up and form a patty right in the palm of your hands just like you were making a burger exactly the same just pat it down flatten out the edges a bit and repeat until you have four salmon burgers ready to roll here at the stove i have a nice large non-stick skillet heating over a medium high heat i'm going to get a little bit of olive oil into the pan just brush it or brush it around you want to have a nice thin layer of oil on the pan you could also do butter here coconut oil whatever you prefer they all work then once that oil has heated up i'll get the burgers in to the pan and you will know your pan is ready because when that burger hits the pan you'll get a little sizzle just like that let them cook four to five minutes on the first side then get underneath them flip them over you will see they have this beautiful sear right it's like a golden brown sear over the top that's how you know your timing is right and then let them go for another 45 minutes on the other side if it looks like they're browning too quickly on the outside you just bring the heat down a little bit so you're making sure that they are cooking and getting heated all the way through the center of the burger so from here i'm going to build a burger but just a quick side note these are also delicious right on top of the big fresh salad so if you didn't want a burger keep that in mind as well for the burger what i like to do is i get a whole grain bun and then i pile a big handful of arugula right over the bottom of it lay the salmon burger over the top and then give it a big hearty dollop of that dill yogurt sauce so good pop the lid on and your burger is ready to be enjoyed all of these flavors are so bright and so fresh they paired together perfectly i cannot wait for you all to try this recipe and as always i have the recipe written out for you down in the description box below that is so good just so light and bright and keep in mind you can also head over to cleananddelicious.com where you can print this recipe and all of my recipes so you have
