Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground salmon (or tuna)
- 0.5 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 2 stalks Green onions, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp Soy sauce
- 1 tsp Fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tsp Sesame oil
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 0.33 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 tsp Wasabi paste
- 4 pieces Burger buns
- 0.5 piece English cucumber, thinly sliced
- 1 Avocado, sliced
- 4 pieces Nori sheets, cut into squares
- 0.25 cup Pickled ginger (optional, for serving)
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground salmon (or tuna), panko breadcrumbs, green onions, soy sauce, grated ginger, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix until just combined and divide the mixture into 4 equal portions. Shape each portion into a burger patty about 3/4 inch thick.
Heat a non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly grease the pan with a small amount of oil and cook the salmon patties for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and golden brown.
While the patties are cooking, prepare the wasabi mayo by mixing the mayonnaise and wasabi paste in a small bowl. Adjust the amount of wasabi according to your spice preference.
Toast the burger buns lightly in the same pan or a toaster, if desired.
To assemble the burgers, spread a generous amount of wasabi mayonnaise on the bottom buns. Place the cooked salmon patty on top, followed by a square of nori, sliced cucumber, and avocado. Add a dollop of pickled ginger on top, if using, and finish with the top bun.
Serve the California Roll Burgers immediately, with extra wasabi mayo on the side if desired.
