If the patties are made to be thicker, use a burger press to form them evenly. Generally, a patty should not exceed a 3/4-inch thickness in order to ensure that it does not shrink during cooking. The first is to ensure that the patties are not overly thick when forming them. With these tips in mind, you should be able to make perfectly formed burgers every time. Additionally, make sure the burgers are cooked correctly and not handled too roughly. In conclusion, the most likely cause of your patties falling apart is an inadequate binding agent and not enough fat in the mixture. Try being gentler with the patties lightly shaping them and flipping them with a spatula instead of using your hands.
Burgers need to be handled with a light touch, as too much pressure can cause them to break apart. If the patties are overcooked, they won’t be able to hold their shape and will end up crumbling.Īdditionally, using too high of a temperature can cause the fat in the burgers to melt and escape, leaving the burgers dry and more prone to crumbling.įinally, you might be handling the patties too roughly. Without adequate fat, the patties will become dry and crumble.Īdditionally, the mixture must contain an egg or some type of binding agent to help the patties hold their structure.Īnother potential explanation is that the patties were cooked too long or at too high of a temperature. Burgers need a combination of fat and binding agents to hold together. The most likely explanation is that the patties weren’t adequately bound together. Therefore, finding the right balance between temperature and cooking time is key to making delicious, non-crumbly salmon patties. Alternatively, if the cooking time is too long, then the patties may become dry and crumbly.
If the temperature is too low, then your patties may be doughy and crumbly. Therefore, it’s important to use gentle, short strokes when combining the ingredients, and to form your patties quickly and gently.įinally, it’s important to use the right cooking temperature and cook time. When ingredients are mixed together too much, they will form a paste-like consistency which cannot form patties that are rolled, shaped, and cooked properly. Additionally, it’s important to make sure your salmon patties don’t get over-handled while they are being made. If this is the case, adding moisture to the mixture (such as an extra egg or some breadcrumbs) can help bind the ingredients together.Īlternatively, if your salmon patties contain too much moisture, then reducing the amount of liquid used in the recipe may help. Can you use flour instead of breadcrumbs?įirst, it’s possible that your salmon patties don’t contain enough moisture. Too much heat can cook the outside too fast, leaving the inside too moist and causing them to fall apart.Īdditionally, make sure to give each patty enough room on the cooking surface, as crowding them will make it more difficult to turn them without breaking the patties. Make sure to form the patties into a uniform size and shape and cook them over medium temperature for an even and thorough cooking. It’s also important to use the correct cooking technique. Breadcrumbs, on the other hand, absorb moisture from the other ingredients and help keep the mixture more sturdy. The egg acts as a glue, helping to bind all the ingredients together. You can also add a binder, such as egg or breadcrumbs, to help keep the patties together. Overmixing will break down the proteins and starches in the salmon, which makes the mixture too watery and causes the patties to fall apart.Ī good rule of thumb is to mix the ingredients until they just come together without overworking the mixture. This ensures that the ingredients are evenly distributed and all the flavors meld together.Īdditionally, make sure that you don’t overmix the ingredients. One of the best ways to keep salmon patties from falling apart is to make sure that you mix all the ingredients together thoroughly.
