Southwest Sockeye Salmon Burgers
What it is
These are pre-formed patties made from sockeye salmon, seasoned with a blend of spices that evoke Southwest flavors. They are designed for quick and easy preparation, offering a convenient way to enjoy salmon. The salmon is typically flaked and mixed with the seasonings before being shaped into uniform burger patties. They are usually found in the frozen section of grocery stores.

To cook, you can pan-fry the burgers in a lightly oiled skillet over medium heat for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until cooked through and heated. Alternatively, they can be grilled on a preheated grill for a similar amount of time, ensuring they are flipped carefully to prevent breaking. They are also suitable for baking in an oven. Ensure the internal temperature reaches a safe level before serving. These burgers are best served hot.

How to keep the rest
Keep any unused, cooked salmon burgers refrigerated in an airtight container. They should be consumed within 2-3 days. Uncooked burgers should remain frozen until ready to prepare, following package directions for thawing if necessary.
