If you've been tempted to grill salmon burgers but haven't tried yet, you've been missing out on an exquisite gourmet treat. Salmon burgers are a terrific replacement for the standard burger. They are healthier, tasty and lend themselves to some pretty high brow recipes you'll be proud to serve to guests.
If you're considering grilling up frozen salmon burgers, know you're settling for second best. While frozen salmon burgers can be pretty good, you'll really want to mix up your own fresh salmon with delicious additions. You'll also want to buy or whip up a grilling sauce or glaze to seal in moisture and perfect the burger.
Before grilling, always prepare your grill by oiling it with vegetable oil. Cook salmon burgers at medium heat and make sure salmon patties are no thicker than ¾ of an inch.
