Teriyaki Pineapple and Salmon Burgers with Sriracha-Yogurt Sauce – Delicious and fun homemade teriyaki salmon burgers topped with grilled pineapple and a creamy sriracha-yogurt sauce.
Do these really need an intro?! Daaaay-YUM!! They’re SO GOOD!
Hey Hi Hey! Happy Sunday!
DADS!!! Happy Father’s DAY! High Five! YOU are so awesome and YOU know it!
Today, I hope you get to watch every darn sport that you can find on that big ol’ screen TV that your kids just bought you! I also hope that you will enjoy your day however YOU want to spend it!
Margaret Truman once said, “It’s only when you grow up and step back from him–or leave him for your own home–it’s only then that you can measure his greatness and fully appreciate it.” So, so true. It’s like she was talking about me and my Tato (Dad)!
Thus, for my wonderful Tato, I will be making these Salmon Burgers and enjoying the entire day in our backyard. Grilling, chit-chatting, hittin’ the Cucumber Mojito, and maybe even singing!
…so long as the rain stays away…
BUT, Father’s Day is not the only thing we’re celebrating today. IT’s also the first day of SUMMER! Aaaaand what comes with Summer? Grilling! Very good!
So, because I’m on this grilling bender, and pineapple bender, and salmon bender, I thought putting all three together was the wisest thing to do and this was proven to be true (FYI: that rhymes) because, 4 salmon burgers were quickly inhaled by yours truly, with the help of my other half.
I mean, it’s a homemade salmon burger covered in teriyaki sauce and it’s simple and perfect and beautiful.
Adding the grilled pineapple to the mix was just WHOA!
Then, as if that wasn’t enough, I threw a bunch of things together, including yogurt and sriracha and I basically fell to the floor with the bowl in one hand and a spoon in the other. I practically OD’ed on the sauce. I had to make a second batch for the burgers…
If this wonderful concoction is speaking to you the way it spoke to me, hit print and make these today! NOW! I promise you, they are daaaaay-YUM good!
Have a wonderful Sunday and an amazing Father’s Day!
ENJOY!

This may be a silly question, but I’m going to ask anyway… You use uncooked salmon in the patties, correct? Looks so great! Looking forward to making them this week.
That’s an amazing idea, saved the recipe and will definetly try it soon. Thanks 🙂
