Super Sauce for Salmon Patties & Salmon Burgers
I make salmon patties or salmon burgers at least once a week. To keep them from becoming tiresome, I often mix up what I put in them and usually change up the sauce I prepare to go on top. Sometimes I add just onions, sometimes onion and celery… sometimes bell pepper and/or garlic. You get the idea.
I’ve come across a sauce, by trial and error, that I love on top of salmon patties so much that I might not be switching up the sauce any time soon.
I call this “Super Sauce” for a few reasons:
- My 4 year old grandbaby has started using the word “super” like its his job. Things are often “super” rare, “super” fun, “super” old (I always duck when he uses this one because someone in their 50s undoubtedly seems SUPER old to a 4 year old!).. so, naturally, if I associate a word with someone who has my whole heart, it becomes one of my favorite words.
- It’s super. Plain and simple. It’s super.
Ingredients
- 1 Cup Duke's or Hellman's Mayo
- 1 TBS Cocktail Sauce (homemade or from a jar)
- 1-1/2 tsp Dijon Mustard
- 1/4 tsp hot sauce (more if you want it spicier)
- 1-1/2 TBS fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Combine! Similar to salad dressings, you won't be able to get a FULL appreciation for this sauce until it is served on salmon patties. A "finger" or "back of spoon" taste test may give you an idea of whether or not you need more hot sauce, but don't adjust anything else until you've tried it on the salmon.
