Salmon Burger Toppings

Classic Salmon Burgers Toppings

• Brioche buns
• Red onion slices
• Ripe tomatoes
• Remoulade Sauce or Herb Aioli
• Lettuce (I prefer bib or butter lettuce)

Burger Buns and Other Alternatives

Although not a topping, every great burger needs a vehicle and salmon burger patties are not different. Besides the classic toasted bun, sesame seed bun and the buttery brioche you can serve your salmon patty in a lettuce cup or lettuce wrap which results in a low-carb, very healthy salmon burgers.

Other alternatives are sourdough buns, ciabatta bread, rice paper, Hawaiian burger buns, grilled rye bread, crispy rice.

Salmon Burger Sauce

A creamy sauce over a nice, golden brown burger, whether is a fish, beef burger or turkey burgers adds richness to the sandwich, additional flavor and sometimes a little heat. There are many options to choose from which makes it impossible to declare just one sauce as “the best sauce”. Some favorites are:

• Tartar Sauce – a classic option for all things fish!
• Lemon Dill Sauce – made with mayonnaise or Greek yogurt, fresh lemon juice, lemon zest and fresh dill, capers and garlic.
• Lime Crema – Fresh lime juice, sour cream (or Mexican crema), chopped cilantro and lime zest give this sauce a tangy flavor. You can use fresh parsley if preferred.
• Spicy Mayo or Chipotle Mayo – If you are a fan of spicy foods and hot sauce, this is a must! 
• Basil Pesto – You can whip up a batch of homemade pesto or purchase pesto at a grocery store.
• Old Bay Sauce – This sauce is so quick and easy to make that I often make it while the burgers are cooking on the hot grill! In a small bowl combine Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, old bay seasoning, garlic powder, green onions and lemon juice. 
• Teriyaki Sauce – Sweet teriyaki compliments the fish so well.
