½ teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon onion powder

1 ½ pounds salmon filet, ½ cup panko breadcrumbs, 2 Tablespoons Parmesan cheese, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, ½ teaspoon dried oregano, ½ teaspoon onion powder, 2 stalks green onion, Kosher salt, Black pepper, ¼ cup fresh parsley
Pulse until the salmon is finely chopped and the ingredients are well combined. Be careful not to overprocess! There should be some texture.
Divide the salmon mixture into equal portions, and shape them into patties.
Heat the olive oil in a grill pan or skillet over medium heat.
1 Tablespoon olive oil
Place the salmon patties in the heated pan, and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they’re cooked through and golden brown and have reached an internal temperature of 145 degrees F.
While the salmon burgers are cooking, toast the buns, if desired.
Toasted buns of choice
Once the salmon patties are cooked, transfer them to the toasted buns.
Added chopped avocado, lettuce, red onion and green onion for garnish.
Optional: avocado
Top each patty with fresh romaine or butter lettuce leaves.
Serve the salmon burgers immediately, and enjoy!
Transfer leftover burgers to an airtight container, and store them in the fridge for up to two days.

Notes
