Ingredients
Instructions
- About 45 minutes before serving, in a bowl, mix Egg Beaters, drained salmon, bread crumbs, chopped green onions, and chopped celery; mix well.
- Shape the mixture firmly into 6 patties.
- In a 12-inch skillet over medium heat, heat the salad oil, then fry the patties 5 minutes on each side or until lightly browned.
- Meanwhile, prepare Hollandaise sauce mix as per the package instructions.
- Split and toast the English muffins.
- Top each muffin half with a salmon patty, spoon on Hollandaise sauce, and serve.
Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider mixing in some lemon zest or fresh herbs like dill or parsley into the salmon mixture. If you don’t have Egg Beaters, you can substitute with 2 beaten eggs. You can also use leftover salmon from dishes like Oyster Soup or Seafood Imperial to make these burgers even faster.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these salmon burgers on the toasted English muffins with a fresh side salad or sweet potato fries for a delightful meal. They pair beautifully with a drizzle of Hollandaise sauce and a squeeze of lemon to brighten the flavors. For a more elaborate meal, consider serving alongside Layered Crab Salad.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover salmon burgers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a skillet over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until heated through, to retain their crispy texture.
