Salmon Burgers With Pickled Cucumbers

Healthy Fact of the Day

Salmon is an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, which are beneficial for heart and brain health. It's also rich in high-quality protein and vitamin D. By making burgers from scratch, you can control the ingredients and avoid additives often found in pre-made patties. The pickled cucumbers add a probiotic element, which may support digestive health.

Ingredients

 

For the pickled cucumbers:

  • 1 English cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt

 

For the salmon burgers:

  • 1 lb skinless salmon fillet, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • 2 green onions, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 burger buns
  • Lettuce leaves for serving

Instructions

  1. Mix vinegar, sugar, and salt for pickled cucumbers. Add cucumber slices and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. In a bowl, combine salmon, breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, mustard, egg, green onions, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.

  3. Form the mixture into 4 patties. Refrigerate for 15 minutes to firm up.

  4. Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.

  5. Cook patties for 3-4 minutes per side.

  6. Toast the burger buns.

Tip of the Day

“Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!

The Table We Return To

Research on the relationship between regular family meals and long-term health outcomes — tracking individuals over decades — consistently finds that the frequency of shared family meals in childhood and adolescence is one of the strongest predictors of healthy eating patterns in adulthood, independent of the specific foods eaten at those meals. The habit of eating together at a table, practiced consistently through formative years, produces adults who cook more frequently, eat more vegetables, consume fewer processed foods, and report higher levels of meal satisfaction than those who did not develop this habit. The table we return to in memory shapes the table we set in adulthood — making the investment in the daily shared meal one of the highest-return health investments available to any family.

Philly Cheesesteak Tortellini Pasta
