These Vegan Salmon Burgers use white beans, beet powder, and kelp granules to get the feel, look, and flavor of salmon burgers. Then they are generously seasoned, formed into perfect patties, and pan-fried. Serve these fish-friendly burgers topped with some of our tangy vegan tahini slaw or on a burger bun with sliced avocado and spicy vegan mayo!
Start by making the flax egg. Mix the water and flaxmeal in a small bowl and set it aside for at least 5 minutes to thicken. If you haven’t already, mince your veggies and gather the rest of your ingredients.
Strain and rinse the beans + transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Use a potato masher or back of a wooden spoon to par-mash the beans. You want them to be mostly mashed with some larger bits throughout, not like a puree.
Add the rest of the burger ingredients (including the flax egg) to a large mixing bowl and stir until combined.
Form the mixture into 3 large or 4 medium patties. Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a nonstick skillet. When hot, fry the burgers for 3-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Place on a paper towel lined plate before serving.
Serve these burgers on a bed of vegan tahini slaw or on a burger bun with sliced avocado and spicy vegan mayo!
