Burgers reinvented! The low carb salmon burgers are made from scratch using simple ingredients and cooked to perfection in under 30 minutes.

Salmon burgers served between lettuce leaves with a generous dollop of mayonnaise

Packed with flavor and served in lettuce wraps with dollops of mayonnaise. They taste SO good and are one of my favorite keto lunches or light dinners.

With only 2.3 grams of net carbs per burger lettuce wrap, I can’t think of a better way to have burgers, any day of the week!

Why You'll Love Them

  • Only 2.3 grams of net carbs per wrap!!
  • Delicious low carb alternative to burgers
  • Ready to eat in under 30 mins
  • Refreshing and healthy meal the whole family will love

Ingredients You'll Need

To make these salmon lettuce wraps you'll need 9 simple ingredients.

Ingredients on a table including salmon, lemon, lettuce, olive oil, almond flour, egg, herbs and spices
  • Salmon fillets
  • Almond flour
  • Egg
  • Garlic powder
  • Lemon zest
  • Dill
  • Olive oil
  • Mayonnaise

How To Make Salmon Lettuce Wraps

Step 1

To get started, heat two tablespoons of olive oil in a non stick pan over medium high heat. Use a paper towel to pat dry the salmon fillets, then sauté them for 3 to 5 minutes.

Use a fork to flake the salmon fillets into small flakes or pieces.

Step 2

Combining ingredients in a bowl to make salmon burger patties

Take a large mixing bowl and combine the egg, flaked salmon, almond flour, lemon zest, dill and a pinch of salt and black pepper.

Step 3

Heat the remaining olive oil in a non-stick pan over a medium high heat. Cook the salmon burgers for 3 to 4 minutes on each side until slightly golden.

Step 4

Salmon burger lettuce wraps served hot and ready to enjoy

To serve, take two lettuce leaves and add a dollop of mayonnaise on each. Or better yet serve them with my homemade spicy garlic aioli!

Place the salmon burgers in between the lettuce and wrap them together. Serve hot and enjoy!

Storage Instructions

Low carb salmon burgers after cooking

In the fridge: To store any leftover salmon burgers place them in an airtight container and keep the refrigerated where they'll keep for up to 2 days.

In the freezer: You can store these salmon burgers in a freezer proof container for up to 3 months. When you're ready to use the burgers let them thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.

To reheat: You can reheat the burgers slowly in a non-stick pan over a medium-low heat. Add a splash of water into the pan and then cover it to steam the burgers. If you're in a hurry you can also place them in the microwave, so they're great to take to work!
