Top Secret Salmon Burger Sauce

Every great salmon burger deserves a signature sauce—and my Top Secret Salmon Burger Sauce is it. Creamy, tangy, and just the right amount of zesty, it’s made with simple ingredients you likely already have on hand. The star is prepared horseradish, which adds a subtle kick that pairs perfectly with the richness of salmon. Whether you’re grilling, pan-searing, or air frying your salmon burgers, this sauce will take them to the next level.

Instructions

• Mix the Base
  In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, horseradish, ketchup, and relish until smooth and creamy.
• Adjust to Taste
  Start with 2 tablespoons of horseradish and add more if you prefer extra heat and zing. Season with a pinch of salt if desired.
• Chill & Serve
  Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes before serving. This lets the flavors meld together beautifully.

Storage Instructions

• Refrigerator: Store in a sealed container for up to 5 days. Stir before using.
• Freezer: Not recommended, as mayonnaise-based sauces can separate when frozen.

Tips & Serving Ideas

• Best with Fish: Spoon generously over grilled or pan-seared salmon, Cod or Haddock burgers.
• Dip It: Serve as a dip for fries, roasted veggies, or fish sticks.
• Spread It: Use in wraps, sandwiches, or as a topping for grain bowls with salmon.
• Make It Lighter: Swap half the mayo for Greek yogurt for a tangier, lighter version.
