In the bowl of a food processor add the salmon and pulse until salmon is lightly ground. About 6, 5 second pulses. Transfer the salmon to a large bowl. Add the panko bread crumbs, egg, fresh dill (or parsley), salt, garlic powder, and lemon juice to the salmon. Mix everything to combine.
Form the mixture into 6 equal sized patties.
Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once oil is hot add the patties to the skillet and fry for about 4 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and golden and slightly crisp. See note #1.
Can serve the salmon burgers with or without a bun. I love to eat mine on a bun topped with lettuce or arugula. Smear the lemon dill sauce on the bun or atop the salmon burger prior to serving.

In a medium size bowl whisk together the mayo, garlic, dill, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and lemon pepper.

You may need to cook your salmon patties in batches, depending on how large your skillet is. I cooked mine in 2 batches.

Store the lemon dill sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will keep in the fridge for about 10-14 days.

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

No food processor? Just pulse a time or two in a blender.
