Jump to recipeHello, it's dinnertime calling with a message for you: Greek-Inspired Salmon Burgers are about to revolutionize your weeknight meals. Equally great on the grill or in the air fryer (we've got instructions for both), these salmon burgers are not just healthy and packed with delicious Greek flavors, they're ready in under 30 minutes. Perfect served with Greek Lemon Potatoes and Greek Salad, this is an ideal dinner for casual family meals or backyard cookouts.
To make the burgers, you'll start by stirring together chopped skinless salmon fillet with chives, dill, and oregano, which infuse the patties a taste of the Mediterranean. Topped with a feta-infused garlic-mint yogurt and sandwiched between toasted pitas, the result is a mouthwatering meal you're likely to make again and again.
Psst...Pureeing the fillet with egg isn’t the sexiest process, but it’s key in helping these patties hold together. Trust us.
