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.

  7. Assemble burgers: place a lettuce leaf on the bottom bun, top with a salmon patty and pickled cucumbers.

  8. Serve immediately.

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!

One Bag of Frozen Peas, Five Meals That Are Actually Worth Making

Frozen peas are nutritionally on par with fresh — and in some cases better, since they’re frozen within hours of harvest before nutrient degradation can set in. A cup delivers around 8 grams of protein and 7 grams of fiber, which is unusually high for a vegetable. They’re also one of the few plant-based sources of complete protein, containing all nine essential amino acids. Add them to meals at the very end of cooking — they only need 2–3 minutes of heat and overcooking drains both their color and their nutritional value.

Freezing peak-season produce at its nutritional peak preserves significantly more vitamins and antioxidants than purchasing the same produce fresh but out of season. Research on frozen versus fresh produce consistently finds that produce frozen within hours of harvest retains nutritional quality comparable to or exceeding that of fresh produce stored for several days — meaning that frozen August corn or frozen peak-season blueberries may be more nutritious than their fresh counterparts available in winter, not less.
