- 1 large egg
- 50 g breadcrumbs
- 50 ml whole milk
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp capers (rinsed and drained)
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley
- 1 tbsp fresh dill
- 100 g mayonnaise
- 100 g Greek yogurt
- 1 tbsp lemon juice

- 0.5 small red onion

Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, egg, breadcrumbs, milk, salt, and black pepper. Mix until thoroughly combined, but avoid overmixing.
Shape the mixture into 4 evenly sized burger patties and set them aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the burger patties for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C). Remove from heat and let rest.
To prepare the herb caper sauce, finely chop the capers, parsley, and dill.
In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, chopped capers, parsley, and dill. Season the sauce with a pinch of salt and black pepper to taste. Set aside.
For the salad, rinse and dry the salad greens. Thinly slice the cucumber and red onion, and halve the cherry tomatoes.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and honey to create a simple salad dressing.
Combine the salad greens, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and red onion in a large bowl. Drizzle with the dressing and toss gently to coat.
Serve the Danish burgers topped with a generous dollop of the herb caper sauce, alongside the fresh modern salad. Enjoy your Scandinavian-inspired meal!
