Cajun seasonings and peppery green onions give these juicy Smoked Salmon Burgers a spicy kick. Aromatic applewood adds fruity smokiness that complements the natural sweetness of the fish. Hearty and flaky with a beautiful, caramelized finish, these tasty burgers are oh so satisfying.
About the cut: Salmon is an extremely versatile and flavorful fish, subtly sweet and salty with a meaty texture and high fat content, making it ideal for grilling and smoking.
