PIN Grilled Salmon Burgers to try them later! At my house the grill is under a covered deck, so I’m always ready to grill. I don’t venture out there much in the dead of winter, but from early spring to late fall you’ll find me out there cooking all kinds of meat, fish, and vegetables on the grill. But tasty recipes like these Grilled Salmon Burgers with Caper Mayonnaise are also easy to make on a stovetop grill pan if you don’t have an outdoor grill! This salmon recipe is one I tried with my nephew Jake, and we gobbled ours up without a bun when we tested the recipe. Of course, they’d also be delicious served on a bun or inside low-carb pita bread with lettuce, tomato, and the caper mayonnaise spread. But please don’t skip the delicious caper mayo that really puts the salmon burgers over the top! The mayo that’s flavored with capers, lemon, pickle relish, salt and pepper literally takes minutes to make and adds so much good flavor to the salmon Get new recipes via email:
What ingredients do you need for this recipe?
What makes this recipe low in carbs and gluten-free?This recipe originally called for a cup of Panko breadcrumbs which I replaced with half Hemp Hearts (affiliate link) and half Almond Flour. That makes this recipe suitable for Keto or low-carb diets and would also make them gluten-free. How can you tell when salmon burgers are done?Use an Instant Read Meat Thermometer (affiliate link) to cook salmon burgers until they reach 145F/62C. Or if you don’t have a meat thermometer, cook the salmon burgers until they are lightly crisp on the outside and the salmon is pink and flaky inside. What if you don’t have an outdoor grill?If you don’t have an outdoor grill you could easily cook these on a Stove-Top Grill Pan (affiliate link) or even a George Foreman Grill (affiliate link) with equally good results! Remember the George Foreman Grill cooks both sides at once, so total cooking time will be much shorter.

How do you tell if salmon burgers are done?Insert the thermometer into the thickest part of your burger. When the salmon burger reaches 145 degrees F, it is done. If you don't have a thermometer, check that your burger is lightly crisp on the outside and that the meat inside is pink and flaky. It should not still look raw.
How do you keep salmon burgers from sticking to the grill?Be sure the grates are clean and the burger (or the grates) has been oiled. This will help the salmon from sticking to the grill grates. Grill each side of the burger over direct heat to get a nice crust.
How long do you cook salmon burgers?Place burgers on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake burgers for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway. Grill/BBQ: Preheat grill with burners set to medium heat. Cook burgers for 9-10 minutes, flipping halfway.
Can I grill salmon directly on grill?Generously season salmon fillets with salt and pepper. Once your grill has fully preheated, place salmon fillets directly on the grill, skin side down, and close the grill. Grill skin-side down for 6 minutes. Then, flip the fillets and grill for an additional 2 minutes skin-side up.
