Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams fresh salmon fillets, skinless
- 60 grams panko breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
- 1 stalk green onion, finely sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 pieces brioche buns
- 120 grams yogurt (plain, unsweetened)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 piece cucumber, sliced
- 2 cups mixed greens
Instructions
Trim and finely chop the salmon fillets with a sharp knife until you have slightly chunky bits; do not puree them into a paste.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped salmon, panko breadcrumbs, egg, dijon mustard, chopped dill, green onion, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty. Place the patties on a plate, cover them, and refrigerate for 15 minutes to set.
While the patties chill, prepare the yogurt-dill sauce. In a small bowl, mix the yogurt, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Stir in an optional tablespoon of dill if desired for added flavor. Set aside.
Heat a large skillet or non-stick pan over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Once hot, cook the salmon patties for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
Toast the brioche buns lightly if desired.
To assemble the burger, spread a layer of yogurt-dill sauce on the bottom half of each bun. Add a handful of mixed greens, a salmon patty, a few slices of cucumber, and additional sauce if desired. Top with the other half of the bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Deluxe Salmon Burger!
