Quick and easy to make keto chipotle salmon burgers have a golden crispy outside and a hint of smoky spice in the inside and topped with a chipotle lime aioli.
These salmon burgers are super quick, simple, and tasty! They have just a hint of spiciness and smokiness that elevates them from the typical salmon patty. Just a tad bit of a Texas flair. Yeehaw!
I created this recipe one night when I was tired and really not up to cooking anything elaborate, AND I had some ingredients that needed to be used like cilantro.
Since the recipe uses canned salmon, the only cooking involved is the crisping of the outside of the burgers.
The only tricky part is making sure after all ingredients are mixed together that the burgers are firmly packed together when forming the patties, so they don’t fall apart.
Also, be sure to allow the burgers to cook long enough to get a good crust before flipping to the other side.
Other than that, easy peasy!
I hope you enjoy them as much as my family did! Happy eating!

Drain all liquid from the cans of salmon, then add salmon to a medium size mixing bowl and flake apart.

Add remaining ingredients to bowl and stir until well combined.
-
Form into 4 equal burgers.
-
Heat butter on medium heat in medium sized skillet.
-
Add burgers to pan and cook until bottom side is medium brown and crusted. About 5 minutes. Burgers will start to release when they are close to being done. Do not try to flip beforehand. They will fall apart. The crispy side helps hold the burger together.
