Who doesn’t love a nice salmon burger to change up burger night? My Healthy Salmon Burgers are a great family seafood recipe with a little spicy flavor! First, I like to mix together high-quality canned salmon with red onion, breadcrumbs, mustard, mayo, lemon, chili powder, and cayenne. Next, I like to make a fresh chili lime sauce to go over the top of my burgers. Finally, bake the patties until they are browned and delicious and top with lettuce and tomato. You will have dinner on the table in less than 30 minutes with my easy recipe for Healthy Salmon Burgers!

Are There Good Fats Inside Salmon?
Salmon is one of the most nutrient-rich foods on this Earth. It is flaky, savory, delicious, and has a gorgeous pink hue. One of the most notable benefits to salmon is its high concentration of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty compounds, which are the good polyunsaturated fats that our bodies need but do not produce on their own. Salmon is so healthy, and it can be turned into anything; burgers, cakes, salad, soups, and so much more!
Add more salmon to your diet and your body will thank you. For more salmon recipes, try my Easy Blackened Salmon Recipe!

How to Make Healthy Salmon Burgers
Begin by preheating the oven to 375º F. Lightly coat a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, use your hands to combine salmon, breadcrumbs, red onion, mustard, mayo, lemon juice, cayenne pepper, chili powder, salt, and pepper.
Shape the mixture into 6 equally sized burger patties, about ¾ cup per patty. Evenly space patties on a baking sheet. Lightly spray the tops of the burgers with nonstick cooking spray. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
Meanwhile, make the Chili Lime Sauce by whisking mayo, chili powder, and lime juice in a small bowl. Set aside.
When burgers are cooked through, remove them from the oven. Serve burgers on buns, topped with 1 tablespoon Chili Lime Sauce, ⅓ cup of spring mix, and a lime wedge.
