One of the fishes that I have grown to love here in the U.S. is salmon. Back in my hometown, we didn’t have salmon other than that in cans so I was never a fan. With fresh seafood delivered to us everyday by our fish vendor friend, how could I love fish that came from a can? There’s nothing better than fresh seafood that just came out of the Sarangani Bay at the base of my city.
My hometown city – General Santos – is actually called the Tuna Capital of the Philippines so other than other fish varieties, different kinds of tuna abound in my city. Tuna is kind of expensive here in the U.S. and so it is salmon that we often get since it is cheaper.
I came across this recipe on Instagram from the food blog, PinchofYum. I have been following this blogger couple’s posts for a while now. I have been reading their blog and drooling over their food photos. Strange though that I’ve never tried any of their recipes until I saw this. She didn’t post this on their blog, but only on her InstaStories.
This is also the first time that I’ve used canned salmon. We always buy the packages 0f fillets but canned was what her recipe called for so that’s what I did. But I tweaked it a bit. One of the ingredients in her recipe is Greek yogurt…I decided to skip that, so here’s what I did:

When it comes to meals, it is always rice that I chose to pair with my dishes. Since it is supposed to be salmon burgers, shouldn’t they be on a burger bun? Well, that’s what my husband did. He put one salmon burger on a bun and then put salad dressing instead of mayonnaise on the bun. He loved it! I loved mine paired with the rice too. 🙂
And please don’t mind the imperfect shape, okay? It’s delicious and that’s the most important thing, right? 😀
Have you tried salmon burgers before?
Happy Friday folks and enjoy your weekend!
That looks delicious! It feels like putting a super tasty salmon patty on a bun, which I think is AWESOME! I can’t wait to make these for the fam!
We love to eat salmon. We don’t eat it often, as we’re stumped for ideas most of the time. I’d like to make these salmon burgers some time.
Wow, these sound like they are so easy to make. I will have to give these a try sometime, I bet they are delicious! Makes for an easy meal, especially on my crazy busy weeknights when I’m rushing to get a meal on the table.
My mom makes something almost exactly like this but with Tuna instead. It is one of my favorite comfort food!
These look really delicious. I bet they would make a fantastic dinner. I am going to give these a try.
I’ve never thought to make salmon burgers but this sounds so freaking yummy! I’ll have to add this to my cooking rotation.
