Salmon Burgers Tips

Can you use other types of salmon to make salmon burgers?

You can use any type of salmon to make salmon burgers, but try to use fillets with the skin and pin bones removed. Atlantic salmon, with its mild flavor and light pink color, is widely available. But you can also use sockeye salmon, known for its leaner meat and rich orange color. Both make great burgers! To really up your fish game, here are more helpful tips on how to buy salmon for any recipe.

Do you need a food processor to make salmon burgers?

You do not need a food processor to make salmon burgers. You can use a blender to make the initial paste, and then a good sharp knife to cut the rest of the fish into very small pieces. The mixture might be slightly chunkier, but the burgers will still hold together, and of course, still taste delicious.

How can you tell when salmon burgers are done?

Use an instant read thermometer to tell when your salmon burgers are done. Insert the thermometer into the thickest part of the burger, and when it reaches 145°, it’s ready to eat. The burger should also appear opaque and not translucent or raw.

What do you serve with salmon burgers?

Like regular burgers, you can serve any of your favorite sides with salmon burgers, like crispy baked onion rings, grilled corn in husks, potato salad and just about any kind of pasta salad. All side dishes for salmon work for salmon burgers, too.

Can you make salmon burgers ahead of time?

Yes, you can make salmon burgers ahead of time. In fact, if you chill the formed patties even 10 minutes before cooking, they’ll be firmer and easier to flip. To store uncooked patties, wrap each one individually and keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a day. Cooked salmon patties can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Need dinner on the table in less than 10 minutes? This easy pan-fried salmon recipe has your back! The dish is quick, healthy and only calls for a few staple ingredients.

Once you know how to cook pan-seared salmon on the stovetop, you can dress the fish up in dozens of different ways. Keep reading to see some of our best ideas. (And if you’re looking for something deep-fried instead, this guide explains how to fry fish.)

How to Pan-Fry Salmon

Ingredients

Overhead Shot Of All Ingredients for pan fried salmon On The gray wood surface

  • 4 salmon fillets (6 ounces each)
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Directions

Step 1: Season the fish

Pat both sides of the salmon with paper towels to remove moisture, and sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Step 2: Heat the pan

Salmon Skin Side Up Cooking In Electric Skillet

Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. When the pan is hot and the oil shimmers, add salmon skin side up and cook 4 minutes.

Step 3: Flip the salmon

Turn fish and cook until fish flakes easily with a fork, 3-4 minutes longer. For easy turning, use a nice, wide spatula.

Step 4: Serve it up!

Pan-seared salmon is a stellar accompaniment for all kinds of vegetables. The salmon would be particularly good with crisp, lightly cooked veggies such as green beans, bell peppers, or zucchini. It’s also a perfect partner for hearty salads. Pair it with any of our favorite sides for fried fish.

Salmon is great with potatoes, pasta, Asian noodles and rice, too. Have a little extra time? Make risotto to serve on the side.

Tips for Pan-Frying Salmon

  • If you want this recipe to be completely no-fail, cook the salmon in a seasoned cast-iron pan or a nonstick pan. No matter what pan you’re using, make sure the oil is nice and hot before you add the salmon, and don’t turn it until it releases easily from the pan.
  • Not feeling confident about your fish cookery? Here are the secrets to cooking fish properly!
  • Pan-seared salmon is practically begging for a delicious sauce. It would be great with something light and citrus-y, like the lemon sauce that goes with chicken piccata. Or serve the salmon with this creamy dill dip.
  • If you like meal-prepping, this salmon can be refrigerated once cooked and used cold. Use salmon in place of tuna in this Niçoise salad, sub it for the canned fish in salmon patties or serve it over sesame noodles.

Atlantic Salmon

Also known as sea run salmon, kelts or black salmon, there are three types of wild Atlantic salmon: North American, European and Baltic. Wild North American salmon isn’t commercially fished because of their endangered status. If you’re buying Atlantic salmon in the United States, expect it to be farmed. This fish has a mild flavor and light pink color, and it works really well in any of our easy salmon recipes.

Learn when it's OK and what heath benefits it offers.

The post Can You Eat Salmon Skin and Is It Good for You? appeared first on Taste of Home.

Salmon is a popular high-protein food because of its host of health benefits. This tasty fish is rich in protein, omega-3 fatty acids and vitamins B and D. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommend eating two to three servings of oily fish like salmon every week.

But have you ever wondered about the skin? Before you remove it, consider saving it for a recipe all its own.

Can You Eat Salmon Skin?

Yes, you can eat salmon skin. In fact, when cooked properly, salmon skin has a crispy, salty bite.

However, before chowing down, it’s important to take a few precautions. Depending on where your fish came from, it may contain environmental toxins. Salmon that live in contaminated water absorb toxins into their skin. This can make the skin unsafe to eat. In fact, a study in PLoS One found that a diet high in farmed salmon may raise the risk of obesity and type 2 diabetes.

If you’d like to try eating salmon skin, stick with wild-caught salmon. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the most contaminated fish is farmed from the Atlantic Ocean. Wild-caught salmon from the Atlantic Ocean is slightly better. For the safest fish, look for salmon that was wild-caught in the Pacific Ocean.

Here are more tips on how to buy salmon.

Is Salmon Skin Good for You?

Salmon skin is rich in nutrients that have been linked to some serious health benefits. Salmon has a high level of omega-3 fatty acids. These good fats can lower the risk of heart disease and other chronic conditions.

Salmon skin is especially high in omega-3 fatty acids. Salmon live in cold ocean water, and their skin needs a high concentration of fat to keep them warm.

A study in Marine Drugs found that eating salmon skin may help to treat type 2 diabetes and improve wound healing. Eating a diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids may also help to prevent certain types of cancer.

How Do I Remove Salmon Skin?

Not ready to add salmon skin to your dinner rotation? No worries; it’s easy to remove from your fish before eating. To remove the skin from raw salmon, place your fillet on a cutting board with the skin side down. Press down on the fillet while placing the knife between the skin and the flesh. Then slide the knife carefully to remove the skin.

You may find that it’s easier to remove salmon skin from cooked fish. Start by grilling or baking salmon. Place your cooked fish on a clean cutting board and slide a sharp knife or spatula between the skin and flesh. Once you’ve removed the skin, season your fish and enjoy.

How to Cook Salmon Skin

Cooking salmon skin may sound tricky but it’s one of the easiest salmon recipes out there. There are just a few tips to keep in mind when making this crispy, salty snack.

If you’ve ever cooked salmon with the skin on, you know that the skin can quickly become soggy or rubbery. This is usually an issue when boiling or steaming the fish. Feel free to keep the skin on when you grill salmon because it will protect the flesh from burning.

One way to cook salmon skin is to make salmon bacon. Start by removing the skin from the fish and cutting it into one-inch strips. Then heat some cooking oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, place your salmon skin strips in the skillet and turn them frequently to prevent burning. Once they’re crispy, remove the strips and place them on a paper towel-lined plate. Season with a little salt and pepper.

Serve your salmon bacon with a side dish for salmon and wow your guests.

Air-Fryer Salmon Patties Tips

How can you tell when air-fryer salmon patties are done?

You can tell the air-fryer salmon patties are done when they’re golden in color, crispy on the outside and hold their shape. Since the salmon is already cooked, you just want to make sure the eggs are cooked through when taking a temperature. Eggs are done cooking at 160°F.

What can you serve with air-fryer salmon patties?

You can serve these air-fryer salmon patties on a bed of spring greens or arugula with some fresh lemon wedges. Sauces that pair deliciously with salmon patties include remoulade, dill dip, and garlic aioli (which also pairs nicely with spicy potatoes).

How do you store air-fryer salmon patties?

Store air-fryer salmon patties in the refrigerator in an airtight container after allowing them to cool. They’re best consumed the next day, but can last for 3 to 4 days.

How do you freeze air-fryer salmon patties?

If you want to freeze air-fryer salmon patties, place the raw salmon patties on a parchment-lined baking sheet and put them right in the freezer. Once they’re frozen, keep them in a sealed freezer bag.

If you’re as obsessed with TikTok as I am, there’s no doubt that the ever-popular salmon and rice dish has popped up on your FYP. This video has over 4 million likes, so no matter what side of TikTok you’re on, you’re bound to come across it. And the recipe looks totally tasty. You know we had to check it out!

How to Make the TikTok Salmon Bowl

tiktok salmon bowl

This TikTok salmon bowl comes courtesy of creator @emilymariko. To make her popular dish, you’ll need two main ingredients, salmon and rice, and they don’t even have to be made to order. Emily uses leftovers—and I’ll never turn down a good leftovers repurposing—but fresh ingredients will also do the trick.

In her video, she shreds the cooked salmon with a fork, then tops that with a big scoop of cooked white rice. Emily’s method for heating up the rice is genius! She places an ice cube in the middle of the rice, covers it with a sheet of parchment paper, presses her hand over the parchment to seal it down and then microwaves it.

After she pulls the salmon and rice from the microwave she adds soy sauce, sriracha and Japanese mayo. Emily finishes this TikTok salmon bowl with slices of avocado, a little bowl of kimchi and some seaweed snacks. Lets give it a go!

Ingredients

Salmon Ingredients

  • 1-2 cooked salmon fillets, about 4 ounces each
  • 2 cups cooked white rice
  • 1 ice cube
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • drizzle of kewpie
  • drizzle of sriracha
  • 1/2 avocado, sliced
  • kimchi
  • roasted seaweed strips
  • sesame seeds, optional

Directions

Step 1: Flake salmon

Use a fork to flake the cooked salmon until it’s fluffy and there are no more big chunks.

Step 2: Reheat in the microwave

Salmon Process 1

Add the rice over the flaked salmon, then place an ice cube in the middle of the rice. Cover with parchment paper so the steam won’t escape during heating. Microwave on high for about 2 minutes.

Remove from the microwave and discard the parchment.

Step 3: Mix and top

Salmon Process 3 Edit

Add the soy sauce to the salmon and rice and mix until it’s all fully incorporated. Drizzle zigzags of sriracha and mayo on top. Finish with the slices of avocado, kimchi and a sprinkle of sesame seeds if you’d like.

What’s with the Ice Cube?

Leftover rice tends to build a crunchy outer shell after a day or two, but reheating rice with water actually helps recreate the signature fluff. This is due to the power of steam, a hot and extremely effective way of cooking.

The ice cube mimics the same process, and the parchment paper helps to keep the steam circling continuously. The power of science truly is amazing. Almost as amazing as the TikTok salmon bowl!

Tips for Making the TikTok Salmon Bowl

Salmon Process 4 Edit

Do you have to use leftover salmon and rice?

You definitely do not need to use leftover salmon and rice for this dish, though it does make the recipe exceptionally fast and easy! But this dish is delicious enough to warrant making both the salmon and rice specifically for it.

Can I add other toppings?

Absolutely! You can top this dish according to your tastes—add some sesame ginger cucumbers or chopped scallions. And I love to use black sesame seeds in addition to white, for the color contrast.

What if I don’t have parchment paper?

You can create the same effect with a bowl placed on top of the rice to capture the steam. Just make sure there are no big holes so it locks in the moisture.

Maple Bourbon Salmon https://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/bourbon-maple-salmon/ Tue, 10 Aug 2021 10:15:55 +0000 https://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/bourbon-maple-salmon/
This flavorful maple bourbon salmon feels fancy for a holiday but is so simple to make! —Diane Higgins, Tampa, Florida
Total Time

Prep: 10 min. + standing Cook: 10 min.

Makes

4 servings

Updated: May. 12, 2023

Ingredients

  • 4 salmon fillets (6 ounces each)
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 3 tablespoons bourbon
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
  • 4 green onions, chopped
  • 4 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled

Directions

  1. Place salmon in a shallow dish. Combine brown sugar, maple syrup and bourbon; pour over salmon. Let stand 15 minutes.
    In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add salmon; cook until fish just begins to flake easily with a fork, 4-6 minutes on each side. Remove and keep warm. Add walnuts, green onions and bacon to skillet; heat through. Serve with salmon.

Maple Bourbon Salmon Tips

What kind of bourbon should you use for maple bourbon salmon?

When making this maple bourbon salmon, follow the same guidelines as cooking with beer—choose one you’d actually want to drink. Some lower-end bourbons can have a medicinal flavor, and that taste will show up in the marinade. At the same time, putting your best bourbon in a marinade is a bit of a waste—save the expensive, extra special bottles for sipping. A solid mid-range bourbon will suit your purposes here. Keep in mind that in the short cooking time, you’ll still be left with some alcohol content, so you’ll want to avoid the higher proofs.

What are some variations of this recipe?

As with any marinade, you can experiment with different ingredients to come up with your personal, perfect combination. With the maple and brown sugar, you don’t need to add any more sweet elements, but you may want to amp up the spice. Try adding some minced garlic, red pepper flakes or spicy mustard. Here is our complete guide to marinade if you want more inspiration.

How else can you cook maple bourbon salmon?

Salmon is a relatively easy fish to prepare, with the biggest danger being overcooking. It cooks beautifully in the oven, on the grill and in a skillet, so you can use your preferred method. If you want to bake the salmon, put it on a lightly greased or foil-lined baking pan and bake, uncovered at 425 degrees for 15 minutes or until it flakes easily with a fork. Just remember, if you’re grilling, keep your individual marinade ingredients far away from the grill—alcohol and open flame should not mix!
