1-Step 1: Prepare the Mixture In a food processor, pulse the red onion and cilantro until they’re finely chopped. Then, add the salmon fillet, egg, Panko, dill, sesame oil, and soy sauce, and process until everything is smooth and well combined. This step ensures your patties hold together nicely and burst with flavor.

2-Step 2: Form the Patties Once mixed, form the mixture into 14 patties, each using about ¼ cup of the blend. Keep them around 2-3 inches in diameter for the perfect slider size. Prepare ingredients by finely chopping the red onion and dill, removing skin from salmon, and preheating the pan to medium heat as mentioned earlier.

3-Step 3: Cook the Patties Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook the patties for about 4 minutes per side until they’re fully cooked. For dietary adaptations, you can bake them at 375°F (190°C) for 12-15 minutes.

4-Step 4: Toast the Buns Horizontally cut the slider buns and spread butter on each half. Toast them with the buttered side down for 1-2 minutes until golden this step is key for that crispy texture everyone loves. In a mixing bowl, gently combine the salmon with other ingredients to keep things tender, as advised before shaping.

5-Step 5: Make the Avocado Spread Cube the avocados and mix them with sour cream, lemon juice, and Sriracha, smashing slightly with a fork to create a creamy spread. This adds a tangy kick that balances the rich salmon flavor perfectly. Prepare slider buns and desired toppings like tomatoes, considering any alternatives for different diets.

6-Step 6: Assemble and Serve Assemble the sliders by placing a salmon patty on the bottom toasted bun, adding a tomato slice and the avocado spread, then topping with the other bun half. Serve immediately while hot for the best taste. Shape the mixture into small patties and cook them as outlined to ensure they’re golden and ready to enjoy.
