Salmon Burgers with Lemon and Dill Mayo

November 8, 2017 by Dominique

Salmon burgers have always been part of my history. My mother would always make them, except she would call them Trent (her last name) burgers, because her family would make them when she was growing up. These Salmon Burgers with Lemon and Dill Mayo are an amped up version of my family’s tradition.

I wish I could take credit for this recipe and say this is my family’s recipe, but it’s not. It belongs to Aaron McCargo Jr.  My mother has yet to share her recipe and since I have always loved salmon burgers, I tried his recipe. I have to say it was really good, so good we go back to it time and time again. This is definitely a much more gussied up version of my mother’s. I am not a huge fan of dill, but I can’t deny how delicious it is when paired with salmon. Also, this flavored mayo with the salmon goes really well together too! So I adapted this recipe to make 6 burgers, because 4 is usually not enough and 8 is too many.

    Is that 3/4 of a lemon – just wanted to confirm it wasn’t missing a measurement

      Hi Jessica,

      Yes, I know weird measurement. 3/4 lemon juiced is right, a 1/2 lemon juiced was not enough and 1 whole lemon juiced was too much. I am sure if you are a little over or under its not a huge deal. I just found that for our taste that was the right amount.
