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.

5. Mexican-Style Salmon Burger

Guacamole and pico de gallo are a natural fit for salmon: the fat of the avocado balances the richness and the pico adds brightness.

  • Guacamole: Try homemade or purchased
  • Pico de gallo: Try homemade or purchased
  • Lettuce

6. Cajun Salmon Burger

For spice lovers, here’s a fun spin using a spicy sauce and sauteed veggies:

7. Lemon Dill Salmon Burger

Here’s a delicious burger topping idea that’s Mediterranean inspired:

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.
