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.

Salmon with Mango Salsa

Ever since I first tasted the combination of mango salsa and savory meat or seafood, I’ve craved it consistently. Grilled fish tacos around here are almost always served with mango salsa, and marinated steak often is, too.

But my all-time favorite pairing for mango salsa is fresh salmon. Something about the combination of tender, flaky salmon with the sweet and tangy salsa pleases my taste buds so much. It’s a combination I add to my meal plan whenever I’m feeling in a rut.

There’s a few other great recipes out there that combine salmon with mango salsa, but ours is the best, thanks to three simple words: soy butter rice. It’s a side dish inspired by one of my favorite Korean restaurants that elevates any home meal.
