30 Minute Salmon Burgers with Caper & Dill Cream Sauce

You are here: Home / Recipes / 30 Minute Salmon Burgers with Caper & Dill Cream Sauce

February 5, 2020 //  by Claire Carlton, RD//  Leave a Comment

Hey Friends! Thanks so much for stopping by the blog today. I have a super easy and delicious recipe for you! It’s inspired by my college days when canned goods were a lifesaver when sticking to a tight food budget. This dish still makes a regular appearance on my dinner table because it’s quick, nutritious and the husband loves them. They can be made in larger batches and frozen for later use, too!

Salmon Burgers with creamy caper dill sauce

I’ve been a fan of making salmon burgers for many years. They were definitely a staple during my college years cause, well, fresh sockeye salmon ain’t cheap! With canned salmon, you reap the same nutritional benefits of fresh, for a fraction of the cost. These salmon burgers are a true budget friendly meal that everyone should have in their back pocket. The recipe can be adapted to be both gluten and dairy free should you require those modifications.

Canned foods overall get a bad rap, but I’m all about supporting everyone on their wellness journey and canned foods make certain foods readily available for some people who might avoid salmon or fish altogether due to financial constraints. Canned foods are convenient, nutritious and cost effective!

Nutritional benefits of canned salmon

In a 3 ounce portion of canned salmon, you take in roughly 700 mg of omega 3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA). These nutrients are essential for the developing brain, heart health, eye health and may even aid the symptoms of anxiety and depression. Additionally, if you choose canned salmon with bones, you get a boost of calcium, about 200 mg per 3 oz, which is about 20% of your daily calcium needs. For those who may need to avoid calcium rich dairy foods due to an allergy or intolerance, these salmon burgers provide an excellent source. I typically always buy my canned salmon with skin and bones because although I don’t have an allergy to dairy, I don’t drink milk or consume other dairy products every day. Finally, canned salmon is an excellent source of Vitamin D, another essential nutrient for bone health and immune system support among other things.
