Superfood Sesame Salmon Burgers are a flavorful fan favorite, filled with healthy ginger, garlic, scallions, and 2 types of sesame. My boys love these burgers and I’ve been making them since they were little. They’re a child-friendly recipe that will get your kids to eat salmon.
The Perfect Low-Carb Meal
These high-protein Sesame Salmon Burgers make an incredible low-carb meal paired with my Garlic Ginger Bok Choy. Typically, I serve these incredible burgers with white rice for my boys, but since I’m on a Low-Carb Diet I skip that. I haven’t eaten rice, corn, or potatoes since 2001.
Superfood Sesame Salmon Burgers
I love making these low-carb burgers because they’re full of highly nutritious wild salmon and packed with superfoods including garlic, ginger, and sesame seeds. Sometimes I prepare the patties the night before, so that the flavors can meld and intensify. Our meal the next day is so easy because all I need to do is cook the patties in a skillet and dinner is ready!

Hey Elana,
Do you have a recipe for burger buns? If so, I would love to have it!
Janet NZ says
I love salmon and these look delicious.
I’m new to paleo/primal eating and your salmon burgers will be perfect!
Thanks Elana
Daphne says
This sounds like another lovely recipe I must try!
One thing I do miss about your recipes; you don’t tell
us how many people they feed (approx.) or how many
(i.e. patties) this amount of salmon makes. It would be
most helpful if you included this information with
each recipe.
Thanks so much!
Sheila says
At the bottom of the recipe (after you press the print version) it says it makes 12 salmon burgers.
Janis says
YUM, love salmon. the vinegar is VERY high in sodium. any suggestions on what to replace it with, or can we just leave it out?
LINNEA says
Try lemon juice…
Pat @ Elegantly, Gluten-Free says
This must be fresh salmon, not canned, or you wouldn’t say to cut it into cubes — what a good idea! Sesame seeds sound like be a good flavor combination with salmon. I love broiled salmon, and salmon salad, and salmon croquettes, and now these patties look like they could join the list.
Thanks,
Pat

I love this picture! It definitely makes me crave these burgers. I love how the star of the show here is the salmon.
My kids love salmon in all forms (smoked, grilled, burgers, etc.) and I can’t wait to try these on them. Their favorite condiment on salmon is a fresh pineapple salsa that they love to help make.
Daphne says
Terris – Care to share the pineapple salsa recipe with the rest of us??
Art says
Every once in a while, I try a salmon recipe because it’s supposed to be good for me. So far, I’ve never really liked salmon. Here’s hoping this one will do the trick!

Hi Elana :)
These look great. I will be making these this week!
How many patties does this recipe yield?
Thank you!
Yolanda says
These looks delish, the picture changed my mindset and now I want to try them as well. We live in the middle of the prairie and the next time I get to a decent health food store, I’m going to look for Salmon. Thank you!
Sarah Smith says
Wow, these sound wonderful! I’ll have to try them out!
