⭐️ Perfect for


Salmon Burgers that have been homemade with a dressing.

I’m always on the look-out for ways to get , and have made it my mission to perfect fish dishes that the kids will happily tuck into.

What better way to do this than with a burger?! We can and a burger bun too – WINNER.

When creating this homemaderecipe, I knew it might work best for children if we move away from the usual texture of a salmon fillet, so for this dish we’re blending all the ingredients up to form a sort of patty or fishcake, so it’s less obvious. 

The added flavours are also nice and delicate, making it taste rather than heavy or overbearing.


The ingredients for salmon burgers laid out on a counter top in plates and small bowls.

1. Blend together the salmon, herbs, lemon, garlic powder, egg, flour, salt and pepper and pulse until you have a well combined mix.

2. Add the peasand stir (by hand, not blending) in enough milk until you have a thick batter.

3. Pour the oil into a frying pan and heat, then spoon the burger mix into four evenly sized patties in the pan. Cook for on each side as per the recipe below, until golden brown and cooked through.

You can keep this recipe in the fridge for 3 days. Reheat fully by before serving. These would be perfect the next day heated up for lunch on a bed of salad leaves. Yum.

This recipe freezes well. Just wait until it’s totally cold and then put into a freezer proof container and freeze for up to 3 months. Defrost thoroughly before reheating.

Alternatively, make up the burgers and freeze them before cooking. Defrost and cook as normal in the recipe.

⭐️ Make sure the pan ist before dolloping in the batter. This will help them to keep their shape.

⭐️ Add enough milk to make a consistency. Not too much or they’ll be runny.

⭐️ Make sure the burgers are before serving.

Yes! This recipe uses fresh salmon fillets, which are a great source of omega-3 fatty acids, which have a variety of health benefits. Salmon is also low in fat and a good source of protein.

For small jobs like this I really like this Mini Chopper. It’s affordable and not a pain to get in and out of the cupboard.

You can, just make sure you use gluten free flour and gluten free burger buns to serve.

Of course! Just serve with your chosen sides and enjoy without the burger bun instead.

For the Tzatziki:

To serve:

    • Cook for about 8-10 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through.

    • Meanwhile, make the tzatziki by mixing all the ingredients together.

    • When the burgers are cooked, serve in buns with the lettuce and tomato, and the tzatziki.

    Make sure the pan is nice and hot before dolloping in the batter. This will help them to keep their shape.

    Add enough milk to make a ‘dollop-able’ consistency. Not too much or they’ll be runny.

    Cooked through: Make sure the burgers are cooked all the way through before serving.

    Serve suggestions: Inside the bun you could serve with lettuce, tomato, gherkins, and whatever else you fancy. I’d recommend making an easy salad and some homemade chips for the easy midweek win.
