Skillet Salmon Burgers with Homemade Sauce

1. Prepare the salmon: Finely cut your salmon into small pieces or lightly pulse it in a food processor (avoid over-processing to maintain texture).
2. Prepare the vegetables: Dice 1/2 of a red pepper and 1/2 of a red onion.
3. Combine ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the prepared salmon, diced red pepper, diced red onion, onion powder, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and Tony’s Cajun seasoning. Mix thoroughly to combine all ingredients.
4. Form patties: Shape the salmon mixture into burger patties of your desired size.
5. Cook the burgers: Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat. Place the salmon patties in the hot skillet and cook until they are golden brown on both sides and cooked through. Serve immediately while hot.
6. Prepare the sauce: In a separate small bowl, combine mayo, Dijon mustard, minced garlic (if using fresh), ketchup, sriracha, and sweetener. Adjust the quantities to your personal taste – measure with your heart!
7. Serve: Enjoy the hot salmon burgers with the homemade sauce. For a keto option, omit the bun or serve on a low-carb bun.
