To cook, you can pan-fry, bake, or grill the salmon burgers. If pan-frying, heat a little oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, until heated through and golden brown. For baking, place them on a baking sheet and cook in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway. Grilling involves cooking over medium heat for a similar amount of time, ensuring they are fully cooked.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to fresh salmon fillets, these burgers offer greater convenience and a consistent shape for easy serving. They are already seasoned, saving time on preparation. The texture can be slightly different due to the binding agents used to form the patties.
Who it is for

How to keep the rest
Keep any unused salmon burgers frozen until ready to cook. Once thawed, they should be cooked within a day or two and stored in the refrigerator. Ensure they are kept in an airtight container to maintain freshness and prevent odor transfer.
