Any tips on keeping salmon burgers from crumbling?

I've been trying to perfect making salmon burgers but they keep falling apart every time I cook them. Does anyone have any special techniques or secret ingredients that help keep them together? Really hoping for some culinary wisdom here!

I think adding a binding agent like egg or breadcrumbs to the salmon mixture can help prevent crumbling. Though, be careful not to overmix, and refrigerating the patties before cooking can also help them hold together better!

I completely agree. Adding a bit of egg or breadcrumbs to your salmon mixture works wonders in keeping those patties together. And yes, remember not to overmix; gentle is the key! Chilling them before cooking gives them that extra stability

Mixing in some finely chopped veggies can add moisture and structure to your burgers, I've found.

To prevent salmon burgers from crumbling, try adding a binding agent like egg, breadcrumbs, or a combination of both to the mixture before forming the patties.
