1. Start by preheating your grill or stovetop to medium-high heat.

2. If using fresh Alaska salmon, remove the skin and bones, then chop the salmon into small pieces. If using canned salmon, drain the liquid and flake the salmon with a fork.

3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped salmon with breadcrumbs, finely chopped onions, minced garlic, chopped parsley, and any desired seasonings such as salt, pepper, or paprika.

4. Mix the ingredients together until well combined. If the mixture feels too wet, add more breadcrumbs; if it feels too dry, add a bit of mayonnaise or beaten egg to bind it.

5. Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape them into patties, about ¾ inch thick. You can make the patties larger or smaller depending on your preference.

6. Place the salmon patties on a greased grill or skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are nicely browned and cooked through. Avoid flipping the patties too often to prevent them from falling apart.

7. While the patties are cooking, you can prepare any desired toppings or condiments such as lettuce, tomato slices, sliced red onions, mayonnaise, or tartar sauce.

8. Once the salmon patties are cooked, remove them from the heat and let them rest for a minute or two.

9. Assemble your Alaska salmon burger by placing a patty on a bun or bread of your choice. Add your desired toppings and condiments.

10. Serve the Alaska salmon burger with a side of fries, coleslaw, or a fresh salad. Enjoy your homemade Alaska Salmon Burger!
