Preheat oven to 425 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Remove skin from the salmon and cut into cubes. Add the salmon along with the egg, dijon mustard and lemon juice to a food processor or high-powered blender.
Pulse the mixture until it forms a paste then transfer to a bowl and add in the remaining ingredients.
Mix with your hands and form mixture into 4 patties (add more breadcrumbs if too wet or more lemon juice if too dry).
Place burgers on a baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes.
Remove from the oven and serve with fries and a salad, your favorite vegetable or on a bun. Enjoy!

Make a double batch ahead of time to enjoy as lunches or on busy weeknights.
If your salmon has skin, use a very sharp knife to remove it.
Salmon burgers can become dry if you use too many panko breadcrumbs. Add an additional tablespoon of mustard to fix this.
Baked salmon patties can fall apart if there is too much liquid in the mixture or not enough liquid. Adjust by adding more breadcrumbs or more lemon juice and mustard as needed.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days. You can freeze the burgers for up to 3 months. Allow them to cool completely and then store them in a freezer-safe container. Use plastic wrap or parchment paper in between the burgers to keep them from sticking.
Reheat in the microwave or oven until warm.
