Top Salmon Burger Topping Ideas

1. Classic Salmon Burger

This is my go-to, the one I come back to again and again. It makes a sandwich that’s bright, creamy, and incredibly satisfying.

  • Remoulade sauce: Try French-style remoulade sauce with mayo, capers, and fresh herbs
  • Tomato
  • Red onion
  • Lettuce

2. California-Style Salmon Burger

This one earned reader love for good reason: it’s fresh, bright, and feels like summer.

3. Umami-Packed Salmon Burger

This is the combination I pull out when I want to impress.

4. Pesto Salmon Burger

Salmon and pesto were made for each other! Serve this one on ciabatta for full Italian effect.

Burger and Bun Ideas

Here are my favorite burger and bun ideas:

  • Salmon burger: Try my Best Salmon Burgers made with fresh salmon, or opt for Salmon Patties made with canned salmon
  • Bun ideas: A great bun tastes a burger taste better! Look for a brioche bun or sourdough bun.
  • Ciabatta or focaccia: Use ciabatta or focaccia for an Italian-style salmon burger.

Frequently Asked Questions

What sauce goes best on a salmon burger?

Remoulade is my top pick: its tangy, herby, briny character is a natural match for salmon. Spicy mayo is a close second, especially if you like a little heat. Tartar sauce is also a classic option worth trying.

What cheese goes on a salmon burger?

Provolone and fresh mozzarella are my favorites: both are mild enough not to overpower the fish. Avoid sharp aged cheeses like cheddar, which clashes with the salmon flavor.

What sides go well with salmon burgers?

A crisp Caesar salad is a classic pairing, or keep things light with a simple arugula salad. Oven-baked sweet potato fries are another favorite in my house for a more filling meal.
