We make these amazingly delicious burgers for special occasions, small summer celebrations or when entertaining. However, they’re simple enough to make anytime if you have more self control than I do.

These were one of Brad’s and my favorite meals for years but I could never get a decent picture before we devoured them. Five years after I originally posted, I’m finally able to update this in time to hopefully convince you to make these over the summer.

Insanely flavorful salmon crab burngers with zesty creole mustard sauce.

Brad gets the credit for the recipe development here – I just refined. Many years ago he set out to make salmon burgers but happily bought crab-stuffed salmon fillets. He also received the divine inspiration to pair the luscious result with a super tangy, addictive mustard sauce that we’ve perfected over time. This recipe makes a ton of sauce but we still end up scraping the bowl at the end.

Make these this summer, gorge yourself, and, as you’re licking the sauce off your greasy, mustardy fingers, take comfort in the fact that these are less than 350 calories a serving, gluten free, paleo-friendly and a good source of omega-3s. I lighten them up even more with light mayo and the result is just as crazy yummy.

    This recipe has to be in the top 5. The spicy mustard is great. We’ve made it a few times and changing up the mustard alone yielded some good results. Zataran’s was actually a little less spicy than straight up dijon. I’d say get a spicy mustard that you are comfortable with, heat wise, and just roll with that.

    Just curious as to why this recipe is so high in carbs. The recipe does not include a bun, breadcrumbs etc. ??

      Hi Sarah! Overall I’d say <15g of carbs is pretty low but I can see how it's surprising when the main ingredients are salmon and crab. I'm just very meticulous about tracking and all those tiny carbs from the onion, red pepper, basil, mayo, etc. add up. If you're tracking closely, you should of course use a food scale and determine your own exact macro counts - you can certainly reduce those ingredients with trace cabs without hurting the end result too much.
