If you love salmon, and fun, bite-size foods then you are going to love these easy and delicious salmon sliders. Perfect for lunch or dinner, these juicy salmon sliders are SO good and take just 30 minutes to make.
These salmon sliders are made using entire salmon fillets that have been cut into smaller slider-sized pieces. The fun, small size is not only great for adults, but also very appealing for kids. A picky eater might even be enticed to give these delicious sliders a try.
I love topping these burgers with microgreens for a couple of reasons. One, microgreens are 40-60% more nutritionally dense (with phytochemicals, beneficial nutrients and components) than their full-grown counterparts or mature store-bought greens. And two, because microgreens pack a punch of delightful flavor to these burgers. I particularly enjoy dill or arugula microgreens, but you can add any variety you enjoy.
