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!

The Last Thing on the Plate: A Love Letter to Dessert

Dark chocolate — one of the most universally beloved dessert ingredients — contains significant concentrations of flavanols, a class of antioxidant compounds that have been associated with improved cardiovascular health, reduced blood pressure, and enhanced cognitive function in multiple clinical studies. The flavanol content of dark chocolate is inversely related to processing — less processed, higher cacao percentage chocolate retains more of the compounds present in the raw cacao bean. A small serving of genuinely high-quality dark chocolate (70 percent cacao or higher) consumed as part of a balanced diet is one of the more evidence-supported dietary indulgences available — making dessert, at its best, both a pleasure and a health practice simultaneously.

Sheet Pan Chili Lime Shrimp Lettuce Wraps

Shrimp is one of the leanest, highest-protein seafood options available, and using lettuce leaves instead of tortillas eliminates refined carbohydrates entirely while adding vitamins A and K from the greens.

Starbucks Just Dropped Two New Blue Drinks — And Every Purchase Helps Fund Clean Water

The Blue Coconut Refresher is one of the lighter options on the Starbucks summer menu at just 110 calories and 50mg of caffeine for a Grande — a reasonable afternoon pick-me-up without a heavy sugar load. The Iced Blue Coconut Matcha is more indulgent at 310 calories, largely due to the cream-based cold foam, but it also delivers 9 grams of protein from the milk components. If you want the matcha flavor with fewer calories, ask for light cold foam or swap to oat milk. And the blue spirulina used to color both drinks is a naturally derived pigment from algae — a genuinely cleaner alternative to the artificial dyes used in many other brightly colored Starbucks seasonal offerings.
