Gloria Duggan, the creative force behind the 
blog, knows how to create delicious meals on the grill. Here she shares her recipe for a burger with a twist!
Are you a burger lover? There’s nothing better than a juicy burger right off the grill. Perfect for BBQ-parties, and always a crowd-pleaser.
In our house, we like to switch things up. There are so many great burger options these days. I think we could cook burgers all summer long and not eat the same one twice.
Add some variety to your burgers this summer with this healthy and flavorful recipe for grilled salmon and dill burgers with caper mayo. They might just become your new favourite.
They’re great for #fishfridays or for a surf-and-turf burger party.
My recipe uses fresh salmon and the burgers are easy to make, quick to grill, and so delicious.
Salmon and dill are a great pairing. I added only a few more ingredients, like panko (bread crumbs), fresh dill and Greek yogurt; grilled these juicy burgers to perfection and then topped them with a simple caper mayo.
The burger patties can be made ahead of time and placed in the fridge or freezer till they’re ready to cook. Perfect for when you are in a pinch for time.
Serving size? We love BIG BURGERS!! This recipe makes four thick juicy burgers. Feel free to make six smaller burgers if you like.
INGREDIENTS
FOR THE BURGERS
- 1 1/2 pounds fresh salmon (skinless and boneless)
- 3/4 tsp. lemon pepper
- 1/2 tsp. smoked sea salt
- 4 Tbsp. Greek yogurt
- 3/4 cup Panko bread crumbs
- 2 Tbsp. fresh dill (finely chopped)
FOR THE CAPER MAYO
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 Tbsp. capers (finely diced)
- 1 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
DIRECTIONS
Remove any bones from the salmon and finely chop with a knife.
Place chopped salmon in a large mixing bowl.
Add ALL the burger ingredients.
With a spoon (or your hands), mix till combined.
Divide into four portions.
Make each portion into a patty and place on a piece of parchment paper.
Once you have all your burgers made, place them in the fridge for 30-60 minutes to chill.
While the burgers are chilling, combine the caper mayo ingredients in a bowl and place in the fridge.
TO GRILL THE BURGERS
Heat the grill to a medium-high heat (about 375º F)
When the grill is heated, coat the grates with some oil (I used avocado oil)
Remove the burgers from the fridge and place on the hot grill.
Cook for about 3 1/2 – 4 minutes, and carefully flip.
Cook an additional 3 1/2 – 4 minutes.
Cooked burgers should have an internal temperature of 140ºF. DO NOT OVER COOK
Remove the cooked burgers.
Place on your favorite buns (toasted if you like).
Garnish with the Caper Mayo (and any other toppings you wish).
ENJOY!!
