Ingredients

• 1 cup salmon fillet, cooked and flaked
• 1 cup whole wheat bread, toasted into crumbs
• 1 whole wheat burger bun
• 1 egg, beaten
• 2 tbsp red onion, finely diced
• 1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
• 2 tbsp plain Greek yogurt
• 1 tsp Dijon mustard
• 1 tsp lemon juice

• Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Flake the cooked salmon into a bowl, checking for any bones.
2. Mix in the breadcrumbs, egg, red onion, half the dill, Dijon, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until well combined.
3. Shape the mixture into a patty about an inch thick and chill for 10 minutes so it firms up.
4. Combine the Greek yogurt with the remaining dill and a squeeze of lemon to make the dill sauce.
5. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and sear the patty for 4 minutes per side until deeply golden.
6. Toast the bun cut-side down in the same pan for 30 seconds.
7. Spread dill sauce on both bun halves, set the salmon patty on the bottom bun, and close.
8. Serve hot with the top bun pressed on.

Tips

• Chill the patty before cooking so it holds together in the pan.
• Swap canned salmon for a faster, budget-friendly version - drain it well first.
