These Salmon Burgers are an easy and fresh weeknight dinner that the whole family will love. 
Salmon is kind of a stretch for me. I like fish but salmon was definitely a fish I had to learn to like.
But these Salmon Burgers are so good – even if you think you don’t like salmon you’re going to love them. The best part about these burgers is the garlic basil mayonnaise. The more you put on there the better. It kind of goes along the same lines as a tarter sauce on fish – but this mayo is so much better. It not only goes on top of the burger but is mixed in with the salmon too.
The burgers come together easily, just mix salmon into a bowl with eggs, onion, parsley, panko, lemon zest and the garlic basil mayonnaise.
Canned salmon is totally fine for these burgers, but we’ve also made them with a piece of leftover fresh salmon too.
