In a mixing bowl, gently combine the juice of half a lemon with the chopped salmon.
Reserve remaining lemon half for garnish. Sprinkle salmon with the garlic powder, dill,
smoked paprika, salt and pepper and gently combine with your hands. Fold in the
panko. Form into four evenly sized patties.
Place a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add butter, garlic and lemon zest.
Cook for 1 minute until garlic is fragrant and lightly browned. Push garlic cloves to
side and carefully place salmon patties into pan using a fish spatula. To ensure
browning, cook for 3-4 minutes without disturbing the patties. Carefully flip patties
and cook an additional 3-4 minutes. Remove patties from pan and serve with a wedge
of lemon and your favorite burger fixings.
