Chef's note: Salmon burgers can be grilled, pan-fried, or air-fried. See the full array of salmon burger cooking methods for a complete list of options.
This red, white, and blue salmon burger is a delicious homage to summer cookouts. Sockeye salmon, also known as red salmon, is the star of this recipe. Its bold flavor is complemented by the addition of grilled onions and crumbled blue cheese.
The grill enhances the sweetness of the onions, caramelizing its sugars and adding a touch of decadence to the meal. Sockeye salmon, however, is quite lean, so even if you load up your salmon burger with grilled onions and blue cheese, it’ll feel indulgent without being heavy.
