INSTRUCTIONS FOR SALMON BURGERS

1. Making the patties: Get your food processor and add in the salmon and egg. Keep pressing the button until everything is small and stuck together. Remove from the device and place into a big bowl.
2. Add chives, dill, oregano, lemon zest, 3⁄4 tsp: salt, and a few grinds of black pepper. Mix everything evenly before using damp hands to form them into 4 round patties that are each 4 inches wide.
3. Make the sauce: In a medium bowl, mix together yogurt, feta, garlic, mint, and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4. To grill patties: Heat the grill over medium heat and oil the grates lightly. Take your salmon burgers and brush the tops with oil before placing them on the grill, top side down first.
5. Put some oil on the food. Cook it until it is golden brown on both sides and cooked in the middle. This takes about 4 minutes for each side. Serve by sandwiching salmon patties between a pita with some sauce, and add in tomato, onion, cucumbers (or whatever else you like!)
6. To air-fry: After spraying your air-fryer basket with cooking spray, arrange the patties in a single layer. Cook at 400° Fahrenheit, flipping halfway through, until they're golden and cooked through this will take 5 to 8 minutes.

Here are some tips for cooking salmon burgers.

• Choose fresh, high-quality salmon: Opt for wild-caught or sustainably farmed salmon for the best flavor and texture.
• Handle with care: Salmon is delicate, so mix the ingredients gently and avoid overworking the mixture.
• Season well: Enhance the flavor with your favorite seasonings, herbs, and spices. Don't forget salt and pepper!
• Chill the patties: Refrigerate the formed patties for at least 30 minutes to help them hold their shape while cooking.
• Before you start cooking, turn on your grill or pan. Make sure it is hot before you put the food in. This will help the food cook evenly and make sure it doesn't stick.
• Oil the surface: Lightly oil the grill grates or pan to prevent the burgers from sticking.
• Cook the salmon burgers for about 4-5 minutes on each side. Use a thermometer to check if the food is cooked. It should be 145°F (63°C).
• Once you take the burgers off the heat, let them sit for a few minutes. This will give the juices in the burgers time to spread out.
• Serve with your favorite toppings: Add lettuce, tomato, onion, avocado, or a delicious sauce to complete your salmon burger.
• Enjoy immediately: Salmon burgers are best enjoyed fresh off the grill or pan while still hot and juicy.
