I try to mix it up for dinner and try new things as often as I can. It can be quite the challenge with busy schedules and diet restrictions thrown into the mix. It was a weeknight after getting home from work when I came up with these Buffalo Salmon Sliders as I needed something I could prepare quickly and I was not in the mood for our typical weeknight go-to of microwaveable vegan patty burgers (we both work full time - don’t judge me haha!). Salmon is always a perfect and quick option for us since it is one of the protein options I chose to keep in my diet and my husband loves it too! It’s also super quick to prepare and not to mention delicious!
Making Buffalo Salmon Sliders
For this recipe I simply cut the salmon filet into pieces that fit onto the slider buns rather than making actual salmon patties - which you can find here, and is super delicious by the way. I then seasoned my filet pieces with a little salt and pepper and popped them in the oven for a quick bake until about medium to medium well.
I then brushed them with buffalo sauce, topped them off with some freshly crumbled blue cheese and green leaf leaf lettuce and gave them a little drizzle of sriracha for an extra kick - that’s it! You can certainly add additional toppings according to preference. Hey, get as crazy as you want!
These were a definite hit, and I’m so glad as I now have a new weeknight go-to when pressed for time. This a seriously easy recipe y'all and so delicious! Serve them alongside baked sweet potato fries for a quick and delicious weeknight meal.
