Salmon Burgers with Avocado Yogurt, an easy and healthy recipe with fresh salmon made into patties served on buns with avocado yogurt!
- 1 pound salmon skin removed
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro or green onion
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 egg
- 3 to 4 cloves garlic minced
- kosher salt, pepper, all purpose seasoning blend or season salt of choice (I used Old Bay)
- 1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 5.3 ounce container plain Greek yogurt
- 1 small avocado
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 4 burger buns
- Optional toppings: lettuce, tomato, onion, etc.
-
Cut the skinless salmon into 2 inch pieces and put them in a food processor and pulse a few times so the salmon comes together but is not completely smooth.
-
Put the salmon in a bowl along with the cilantro or green onions, bread crumbs, egg, garlic, kosher salt, pepper, and seasoning a blend of choice. Gently combine with your hands and form into four burger patties.
-
Cook the salmon patties according to one of these methods:
Air Fryer: Place the burgers in the air fryer basket, set to 380 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes. No olive oil is needed with this cooking method.
Skillet: Preheat a large skillet to medium heat and add the olive oil. Once hot add the burgers and cook 3 to 5 minutes per side. Watch the heat and if the skillet gets too hot lower the heat to medium low.
-
While the burgers are cooking make the avocado yogurt sauce. Put the yogurt, avocado, lime juice, kosher salt, and pepper in a food processor or blender. Blend until smooth.

Serve the salmon burgers on buns with the avocado yogurt and toppings of choice such as lettuce, tomato, and onion.
