    Salmon Sliders with Tangy Lemony Yogurt Sauce

    February 18, 2018 by Debbie Leave a Comment

    These Salmon Sliders with Tangy Lemony Yogurt Sauce are the perfect size to serve as appetizers or as a delicious main course.

    Three Salmon Sliders with a Tangy Lemony Yogurt Sauce.

    I’ve always loved the idea of Sliders! Little burgers, so cute in size, they fit in one hand! Partial to all things miniature, these little gems have been a hit for me for years...and not because they're cute!

    These Salmon Sliders with Tangy Lemony Yogurt Sauce are light, easy and absolutely delicious. When you need a new dish that’s quick and on the table in no time, here’s one you’ll love.

    They were the perfect choice for the appetizer when Phil and I hosted our Winter Olympic Great 8 theme dinner! These beauties represented Norway!

    Since I’m not a huge fan of beef, I love everything about these Salmon Sliders. The moist, petite diced goodness of the salmonand the creamy Tangy Lemony Yogurt Sauce are a Gr8 combo!

    Here’s a secret...you might want to double the sauce!I usually end up scraping up every bit of it! I can never get enough! When dolloped on top of the chopped lettuce mix, it gives the sliders a sort of delicious coleslaw topping!

    Since the yogurt sauce has the fresh and light flavors similar to Tzatziki sauce, guess what else it would be delicious on?! Our 2 Chicken Wings recipes: Peppery Chicken Wings and the Buffalo Chicken Wings!

    My husband, Phil always opts for bottom bun only on his sandwiches, sliders and burgers. “Less carbs” he says! Such a show off! He says he likes to “save his carbs for his cocktails”! Whatever!

    Salmon Slider with Tangy Lemony Yogurt Sauce served on a bottom bun only on a yellow plate with two lemon wedges.

    One of the pluses of this recipe is you can make the salmon cakes ahead of time...here’s how I know this: The last time I made these Salmon Sliders, I knew we’d be seeing our nephew, Brian (a pescatarian) in a couple of days.

    I texted him that day to ask if he would want us to bring some of the salmon sliders I had extras of...all prepared, covered and refrigerated, ready for him to cook at home.

    He jumped at the offer! What single 30 year old wouldn’t! He often reminds me, just in case I find myself with some extra salmon sliders again, he’d be happy to take them off of my hands! That’s how delicious they are!

    I think I owe him some again soon...probably because I’ve been craving them!

    Instructions

    Salmon Cakes

    • In a large non-reactive bowl (*see Gr8 Notes), mix together salmon pieces, torn bread, mayonnaise, egg, coriander, red pepper flakes, salt, black pepper, 1 Tablespoon chopped scallion, minced garlic and lemon zest.
    • Form into 4 patties (4” in diameter).
    • In a large, heavy bottom nonstick skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat until it begins to shimmer, but not smoking.
    • Cook salmon patties, turning once on each side, until golden in color and just cooked through, about 7 minutes in total.

    Lemon Yogurt Sauce

    • Stir together yogurt, chopped scallions, lemon juice, lemon zest and salt.

    Assemble the Salmon Sliders

    • Bottom slider bun, additional lemon yogurt sauce (optional), salmon cake, chopped lettuce, lemon yogurt sauce, a little added zest (optional), top bun.

    Notes

    Gr8 Make Ahead Tips:
    • Sliders: The uncooked patties can be prepared ahead of time. In a glass or ceramic bowl keep the patties covered and refrigerated for up to 2 days.
    • Lemon Yogurt Sauce: The sauce can be prepared ahead of time. Keep sauce covered and refrigerated for up to 5 days.
    Gr8 Notes:
    Non-reactive bowls are used for foods high in acidic nature (citrus, tomato, etc). Glass or ceramic bowls are the best choice. They are considered non-reactive because they won't react chemically with the food placed in it.
