TOASTED BUNS: When salmon patties are ready, preheat the grill to medium-high. Lightly brush buns with butter and grill until grill marks appear and the buns are toasty. Remove the buns and grease the grill grate with vegetable oil.
Grill salmon burgers until fish is cooked through, about 2 minutes per side.
