Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams skinless salmon fillet
- 60 grams panko breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- 2 stalks green onion, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
- 1 tablespoon curry powder
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 4 pieces burger buns
- 120 grams plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 0.5 piece cucumber, thinly sliced
- 4 pieces lettuce leaves
Instructions
Chop the salmon fillet into small pieces, then pulse in a food processor until coarsely ground. Do not over-process; it should still have some texture.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground salmon, panko breadcrumbs, egg, green onion, cilantro, lime zest, curry powder, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape into burger patties. Place the patties on a plate, cover, and refrigerate for 15 minutes to firm up.
While the patties chill, prepare the yogurt sauce by mixing the Greek yogurt and lime juice in a small bowl. Set aside.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the salmon patties and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden and cooked through.
Toast the burger buns in the skillet or in a toaster until lightly crispy.
Build the burgers by spreading a generous layer of the lime yogurt sauce on the bottom bun. Add a lettuce leaf, then the salmon patty, and top with cucumber slices. Finish with the upper bun.
Serve immediately with your favorite side dish, such as sweet potato fries or a fresh salad.
