Glazed Salmon Burgers are a delicious and healthy twist on the classic burger, combining tender, flaky salmon with a sweet and savory glaze. The salmon patties are seasoned to perfection and pan-seared to create a golden crust, then brushed with a flavorful glaze made from soy sauce, honey, and garlic. These burgers are light yet satisfying, offering a balance of freshness and richness. Serve them on toasted buns with your favorite toppings, such as avocado, lettuce, or a tangy slaw, for a meal that feels both indulgent and nourishing.
