Orca Bay Sockeye Salmon Garden Veggie Burgers
What it is

The combination of fish and plant-based ingredients aims to provide a balanced flavor profile.
How people cook with it
These burgers are a versatile option for weeknight meals or casual gatherings. They can be cooked in several ways to suit different preferences.
- Pan-fried for a crispy exterior
- Grilled for a smoky flavor
- Baked for a hands-off approach
- Served on a bun with toppings
To cook, you can pan-fry the burgers in a lightly oiled skillet over medium heat for about 4-5 minutes per side, until heated 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 they are cooked thoroughly before serving. They are excellent served on a bun with your favorite burger condiments and a side salad.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike traditional beef burgers, these patties feature the distinct taste of sockeye salmon and incorporate vegetables for added texture and flavor. The sockeye salmon provides a richer, more robust fish flavor compared to some other salmon varieties, and the vegetable additions offer a different mouthfeel than a purely meat-based patty.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a convenient and flavorful seafood option for meals.
