Tips & Substitutions
To enhance the flavor, consider adding some minced garlic or a dash of hot sauce to the mixture. If you want a gluten-free option, substitute the Italian style bread crumbs with crushed gluten-free crackers. For added moisture, you can include a tablespoon of mayonnaise. Make sure the salmon is well-drained to prevent soggy patties.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the salmon burgers on toasted buns with lettuce, tomato, and a dollop of tartar sauce or a squeeze of lemon. They pair beautifully with a side of sweet potato fries or a fresh salad. For a delightful meal, consider serving them alongside Clam Or Quahaug Chowder to complement the seafood theme.
