Ingredients

These Greek burgers are easy to make with just a few ingredients listed below. For the full ingredient measurements, scroll down to view the recipe card at the bottom of the page.

Salmon Burgers

• Salmon, skin removed. Use fresh salmon or frozen. If using frozen, let it defrost completely before using in this recipe.
• Shallot, ads a lot of great flavor to these salmon burgers
• Baby spinach, rinsed and dried
• Feta cheese, just a little ads a great sale flavor to these greek style fish burgers.
• Fresh dill, goes so well with the salmon.
• Lemon juice, ads a fresh lemon flavor.
• Dried oregano
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Butter or olive oil for frying

Lemon Tzatziki

• Greek yoghurt, make sure to use a natural and full fat version. You want it thick and creamy! If you want to make this recipe vegan, use a dairy free greek style yogurt. 
• Cucumber, I used a seedless cucumber in this recipe. Grate it finely and squeeze out as much of the liquid as you can in your hand before adding it to the yoghurt. Otherwise the tzatziki can turn out a little watery. 
• Lemon juice, ads a fresh lemon flavor to this Tzatziki. 
• Garlic, finely minced or grated. Adjust the amount to your liking, some like a lot of garlic in their tzatziki, others like it milder. Taste it and add more if you like. 
• Fresh dill, just a little really enhances the flavour in this tzatziki sauce. 
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Making these burgers are easy and fast. For the full written recipe, see the recipe card at the bottom.

Lemon Tzatziki

• Grate the cucumber, then squeeze it in your hands to remove as much liquid as possible. If its too wet the sauce will be runny. You can also spread it out on a paper towel to let it dry for 10 min after squeezing it in your hands. This will remove extra liquid. 
• Make sure to chop the garlic finely and add more or less depending on how spicy you like it. Stir together all the ingredients in a bowl, cover and let rest in the fridge while you make the burgers.

Salmon burgers

• In a food processor, pulse the shallot until finely chopped. Add the spinach to the food processor with the shallot and pulse until finely chopped.
• Add the salmon, the dill, dried oregano and salt and pepper to taste. Pulse a few times until it has finely chopped texture. Be carful not over process, you still want to see chunks. Crumble in the feta cheese and pulse once just to combe. 
• Make 4 Salmon burgers using your hands form into a patties.
• Melt the butter in a large frying pan over medium heat. Place the patties in the pan and fry for about 4 minutes or until golden brown and white edges appear. Flip the burger carefully and cook for about 3-4 minutes more. Do not overcook the burgers.

Serve with your favorite burger buns, sliced sun-dried tomatoes, mix of lettuce and a little extra crumbled feta cheese. Serve them with a side of these Roasted Greek Potatoes with Lemon Tzatziki.
