Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams salmon fillet, skinless and boneless
- 0.5 cup red onion, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 cup gluten-free breadcrumbs
- 1 unit egg, large
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 units dairy-free burger buns
- 4 units lettuce leaves
- 1 unit tomato, sliced
- 0.25 cup dairy-free mayonnaise
Instructions
Cut the salmon fillet into chunks and place in a food processor. Pulse several times until finely chopped but not pureed.
Transfer the salmon into a large mixing bowl. Add the red onion, dill, lemon zest, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, gluten-free breadcrumbs, egg, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
Shape the salmon mixture into four equal patties using your hands.
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Place the salmon patties into the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the dairy-free burger buns in a separate pan or in the toaster.
To assemble the burgers, spread about one tablespoon of dairy-free mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun. Place a cooked salmon patty on top, followed by a lettuce leaf and a slice of tomato.
Finish with the top half of the bun. Serve immediately and enjoy your dairy-free salmon burgers!
