To cook, you can pan-fry the salmon burgers in a lightly oiled skillet over medium-high heat for about 4-5 minutes per side, until cooked through and nicely browned. Alternatively, they can be grilled on a preheated grill for a similar amount of time, turning once. For a simpler method, bake them in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
