This will be the BEST Salmon Burger recipe you’ll ever try. It starts with buttery fresh salmon, gets perfectly brown in a skillet (no grill needed) and is finished with crisp lettuce and creamy tartar sauce.

These Salmon Burgers Are Mind-Blowingly Good!

When I was brushing up on my Spanish last year, Duolingo led me to believe that I would be ordering hamburguesas de pescado everywhere in Spain (this food item appeared in almost every lesson, every day). But in my two weeks in Spain, I was presented with zero opportunities to order a fish hamburger.

What’s funny is that I probably would have ordered it if I had ever seen it on a menu! So today, it IS on my menu, and I hope you’ll add it to yours, too.

I set out to make a flavorful and juicy salmon burger, thinking I would need many rounds of recipe testing to get it just right. But I actually nailed it on the very first try.

As I was eating the perfectly browned burger with the only simple toppings it needed (crunchy lettuce and creamy homemade tartar sauce), I was making audible “oh my god this is so good” gasps and noises. There was literally not one single thing about it that could be improved. My husband and six-year-old daughter agreed.

Read on to find out exactly how to make one of my favorite new recipes in years.

Heads up! The tartar sauce is a big part of why this burger is SO good. You’ll want to make that recipe first – it should sit in the fridge for about an hour before serving.

Why You Will Love This Salmon Burger Recipe

  • It’s a protein-packed alternative to a beef burger for days where you want something just a little lighter.
  • The food processor does most of the work for you – there’s not much to chop up.
  • This burger has just the PERFECT texture – perfectly crispy and golden brown on the outside, and tender and juicy on the inside.

This Homemade Tartar Sauce is adapted from a culinary school recipe. Big restaurant flavors, in a smaller, super easy-to-make recipe. Skip the store-bought sauce and instantly upgrade any seafood dish.

This Homemade Tartar Sauce Recipe Is Great On . . . Everything!

Since I was a little kid, I’ve LOVED tartar sauce.

Obviously, the mayonnaise part is built into my Midwestern DNA. But add the pickles and the herbs and it just becomes such an A++ condiment. Of course, it’s perfect with fried fish, and 99% of my unabashed love for the Filet-O-Fish (guilty pleasure, please don’t judge) is simply the tartar sauce.

I also love tartar sauce as a dip for French fries, roasted potatoes, and heck, pretty much every other kind of roasted vegetable, too. It’s obviously amazing with all kinds of seafood dishes. Give it to me with grilled chicken, honestly. Tartar sauce all day, every day.

However, I find most jarred and bottled tartar sauces to be very underwhelming. They often have an “off” flavor to me that I can’t quite place. It’s probably just the fact that they’re made with all sorts of fillers and additives and frankly, just not good.

So, fellow tartar sauce lovers: let’s explore making some homemade tartar sauce, using the same recipe I was taught in culinary school (just scaled down for the home kitchen).

Why You Will Love This Tartar Sauce Recipe

  • The tangy flavor complements the richness of fried fish so well!
  • It’s adapted from a culinary school recipe, which means it has all the big flavors of a restaurant condiment.
  • It keeps up to a week in the fridge.

—Kimberlee

This Is The BEST Chicken Stroganoff Recipe

The culinary school that I attended focused on learning classical French techniques, and thus wasn’t known to prioritize lighter, healthier cooking.

But at home, I’m all for ways to make my favorite dishes a little lighter, as long as they don’t sacrifice flavor.

Today, I’m reimagining one of my favorite comfort foods – beef stroganoff – by using chicken instead of beef. This swap reduces cholesterol while honoring the comforting, cozy flavors of stroganoff.

Honestly, this version is so good that you may find yourself preferring it over the original!

Why You Will Love This Stroganoff Chicken

  • It’s a lighter, lower cholesterol version of stroganoff.
  • Using dark meat chicken means that the meat will stay nice and moist and tender, while still being lighter than beef.
  • Chicken thighs are usually cheaper than beef, too, so it’s quite affordable.

This Potato Salad with Egg has been a Midwestern family favorite for generations. Potatoes, eggs, celery and onion, dressed with a mayonnaise-Thousand Island-mustard dressing. So classic and so good!

Potato Salad Recipe with Egg

Here it is: the potato salad that has been in my family for generations. And if you’re from the Midwest like us, I’m going to guess that your family’s recipe is very similar. Honestly, this was probably published in the newspapers at some point, and that’s where all of our grandmothers got it.

My grandma made (and my mom still makes) this on pure vibes. No measurements, just making it up as they go along and eyeballing all of the ingredients.

I prefer to have some guidelines, at least as reference (which means I can share it with you, too). I might not measure everything precisely, but at least I know I need about a cup of mayo, about 1/3rd cup of Thousand Island dressing and about 2 teaspoons of yellow mustard.

The recipe card below does have exact measurements, and is the result of making my mom make her potato salad while I jumped in and measured everything she was adding. It’s perfectly creamy, tangy and hearty in the way only Midwestern potato salad can be.

Why You’ll Love This Potato Egg Salad

  • This classic comfort dish will bring back nostalgic memories of family gatherings and picnics for Midwesterners.
  • Not only CAN this be made ahead, but it SHOULD be. It gets much better as it sits in the fridge overnight.
  • It’s an ideal side dish for a variety of meals, from hamburgers and hot dogs to grilled meats to sandwiches.
