Separate the salmon burger mix into four palm-sized burgers. Use your hands to scoop out some of the mixture then roll it in your palm until it has a round shape. Then squeeze down the mix against both of your palms until it becomes a patty.
Step 3: Heat the Pan
Heat a large pan over light to medium heat on your stove. Next, drizzle the pan with olive oil. Let the pan and the oil heat up before you put in the burgers.
Step 4: Cook the Burgers
Gently place the patties into the frying pan to avoid splashing the hot oil. Cook each patty for about 3 minutes on each side or until it turns into a golden brown burger.
