Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound salmon fillet skin removed
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup green onions finely chopped

Notes

For the best flavor, ensure the salmon is fresh and not frozen before starting the recipe. To enhance the taste, you can add a pinch of smoked paprika or cayenne pepper to the salmon mixture for a bit of spice. Additionally, consider serving the burgers with a dollop of tartar sauce or a slice of avocado for extra creaminess.
