Ingredients

12 ounce pink salmon (drained, flaked)
1 egg (large)
0.25 cup breadcrumbs (plain)
0.75 cup mayonnaise (divided)
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon fresh dill (chopped)
0.5 teaspoon salt (divided)
0.25 teaspoon black pepper (divided)
2 tablespoon olive oil
14 ounce coleslaw mix (pre-shredded)
2 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
4 hamburger buns
4 lettuces (leaves)
1 tomato (sliced)

Instructions

Prepare the coleslaw: In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, granulated sugar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper until smooth. Add the pre-shredded coleslaw mix and toss to combine. Set aside to allow flavors to meld while you prepare the salmon patties.
Make the salmon patties: In another medium bowl, combine the drained and flaked pink salmon, egg, breadcrumbs, 1/4 cup mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, fresh dill, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper. Mix gently until just combined. Form the mixture into 4 equal patties.
Cook the patties: Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, carefully place the salmon patties in the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and heated through.
Toast the buns: While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the hamburger buns in a separate dry skillet, toaster, or under a broiler.
Assemble and serve: Place a cooked salmon patty on each toasted bun. Top with fresh lettuce leaves and tomato slices if desired, then a generous spoonful of the prepared coleslaw. Serve immediately with any remaining coleslaw on the side.

Notes

Leftovers will keep well in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat patties gently in a skillet or oven for best texture.
