Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, add the chopped salmon fillet, breadcrumbs, beaten egg, fresh dill, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well incorporated, about 2-3 minutes.
  2. Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a patty approximately 1 inch thick. Place on a plate lined with parchment paper.
  3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, around 400°F (200°C). This ensures a perfect, golden-brown crust.
  4. Cook each salmon patty on the grill for 4-5 minutes on one side without moving them. Flip and grill the other side for another 4-5 minutes.
  5. If adding cheese, place a slice on each patty during the last minute of cooking to let it melt.
  6. Remove the patties and let rest. Toast the burger buns on the grill for about 1-2 minutes.
  7. Assemble each burger by placing a salmon patty on the bottom bun, then layer on lettuce, tomato, and tartar sauce.
  8. Serve your juicy salmon burgers immediately while they're fresh and delicious!
