01
Step 1
Start by setting a colander over a bowl and adding the salmon to it. Gently break the fish apart a little to help it drain, then let it sit for about 10 minutes. Once most of the liquid has drained out, discard the juice and transfer the salmon to a large mixing bowl.

Step 2
Next, add the chopped bell pepper and onion to the salmon. Toss in the bread crumbs, eggs, soy sauce, Sriracha, ginger, a teaspoon of sesame oil, mustard powder, and garlic powder. Mix everything together until it’s well combined.

Step 3
Shape the mixture into five patties, then lay them out on a baking sheet. Cover the patties with plastic wrap and pop them in the fridge to chill for at least an hour, or up to overnight if you have the time.

Step 4
When you’re ready to cook, heat some vegetable oil along with a teaspoon of sesame oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Carefully place the patties in the pan, lower the heat to medium, and cook them for about 7 to 9 minutes on each side, flipping only once. You want a nice, golden-brown crust.

Step 5
Once they’re cooked through and nicely browned, transfer the salmon burgers to a serving platter and enjoy!
