Notes
- For baked salmon burgers, cook fillets on a lined sheet at 350°F for 10–12 minutes.
- Let your salmon sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before cooking for even heat distribution.
- Use a cast iron skillet for an unbeatable blackened crust.
- The fish should have a nice blackened, charred look to it before flipping. It is not burnt, the seasonings have simply activated.
- If you want extra spicy salmon burgers, add more cayenne to your Cajun seasoning.
- Lightly toast your brioche buns to prevent them from getting soggy.
- Try leftover fillets in fish tacos for a quick next-day meal.
- Cooked salmon fillets can be place in an airtight container and refrigerated for 3-4 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
