Ingredients

Wellsley Farms salmon burgers (as many as you want to cook)
Olive oil or vegetable oil
Salt and pepper
Optional seasonings: lemon juice, dried dill, paprika, garlic powder

Prep the Burgers

Before cooking your salmon burgers, you’ll want to prep them properly so they hold their shape during cooking

Thaw frozen salmon burgers overnight in the refrigerator if cooking from frozen.
Pat dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Wet burgers are prone to falling apart.
Brush or lightly coat burgers with olive oil or vegetable oil on both sides. This helps promote browning.
Season generously with salt and pepper. Feel free to add lemon juice, dill or other seasonings to taste.

Pan Fry for Crispy Burgers

Pan frying is my favorite way to cook Wellsley Farms salmon burgers. It leaves the exterior crispy and gives an incredible caramelized flavor.

Heat 1-2 Tbsp olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium high heat.
When oil shimmers, add salmon burgers. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown.
Flip burgers gently to prevent breaking apart. Cook second side for another 3-4 minutes.
Optionally, melt cheese on burgers in the last 1-2 minutes of cooking if desired.
Check that burgers are cooked through by taking an internal temperature of 145°F with a meat thermometer.
Transfer to a paper towel lined plate to absorb excess grease.

Bake for Hands Free Cooking

Baking Wellsley Farms salmon burgers in the oven is an easy hands-off cooking method. While it doesn’t achieve the crispy exterior of pan frying, baked salmon burgers are juicy and flavorful.

Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
Arrange salmon burgers on prepared baking sheet and lightly brush or coat with oil.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through. Burgers are done when flaky and opaque in center.
Optional: For charred flavor, broil burgers 2-3 minutes at end of baking time. Watch closely to avoid burning.

Grill for Smoky Flavor

Grilling is a fantastic way to infuse Wellsley Farms salmon burgers with delicious smoky barbecue flavor. The high heat helps render the salmon fatty and moist.

Oil the grill grates well to prevent sticking. Heat grill to medium high.
Place burgers gently on hot grill. Close lid and cook 4-5 minutes per side with lid closed.
Use a wide metal spatula to flip burgers carefully. Don’t forcefully scrape them or they may break.
Grill until nicely marked and burgers flake easily, about 8-12 minutes total.
Transfer burgers to a platter and tent with foil to rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Serve Your Salmon Burgers

Wellsley Farms salmon burgers taste amazing on their own, but you can take them to the next level with toppings and buns. Here are some tasty serving suggestions:

Nestle burgers in burger buns, lettuce wraps or on salad greens.
Top with avocado slices, roasted red peppers or grilled pineapple for delicious flavor combos.
Mix up a sauce or aioli: teriyaki, remoulade, tartar, chipotle mayo, etc.
Stack burgers with tomato, onion and greens for a hearty salmon sandwich.
Enjoy burgers alongside fresh coleslaw, potato salad or lentil salad.

With these simple tips, you can enjoy restaurant-worthy Wellsley Farms salmon burgers in your own kitchen. Baking, grilling or pan frying all yield tender, succulent salmon patties that make for a satisfying meal. Experiment with different seasonings and toppings until you find your favorite preparation. Enjoy!
