When ready to cook, set temperature to High and preheat, lid closed for 15 minutes. For optimal results, set to 500℉ if available.4
Place salmon burgers directly on the grill grate and cook for 4 minutes each side flipping once.5
For the Chipotle Mayo: Combine mayonnaise, chipotles, adobo sauce, lime juice, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Mix well and refrigerate until ready to use.6
To assemble the burgers, place the salmon burger on the bottom bun and top with lettuce, onions, pickles (or your favorite toppings) and chipotle mayo. Enjoy!
