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!

Sonic Just Launched a $7 Meal Deal — And Updated Its $1.99 Menu at the Same Time

The $7 Big Deal Meal gives you a choice between tots and fries — and while both are similar in calories, the tots tend to be slightly lower in fat due to their smaller surface area. If you’re ordering from the $1.99 menu, the Vanilla Soft Serve Cup is one of the lighter dessert options at any drive-in, typically coming in under 200 calories for a small serving. Pairing any value meal with water instead of a fountain drink is the easiest single swap to significantly reduce sugar intake without changing the food experience.

The Flavors That Everyone Loves but Nobody Talks About

Capsaicin — the compound responsible for chili heat — has been extensively studied for its health effects beyond its sensory properties. Regular consumption of capsaicin has been associated with increased metabolic rate, reduced appetite, improved cardiovascular markers, and antimicrobial effects in multiple clinical studies. The endorphin release triggered by capsaicin consumption produces measurable reductions in perceived pain and improvements in mood. And populations with high chili consumption — in South and Southeast Asia, in Mexico, in parts of Africa — consistently show lower rates of certain chronic diseases in epidemiological studies, though the relationship is complex and likely reflects dietary patterns rather than capsaicin alone.
