Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 g salmon fillet (skinless)
- 60 g panko breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- 2 stalks green onion, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 4 pieces burger buns
- 4 pieces lettuce leaves
- 4 slices sliced tomato
- 60 g plain Greek yogurt
- 30 g mayonnaise
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 2 dashes hot sauce (optional)
Instructions
Using a sharp knife, finely chop the salmon fillet into a minced, paste-like consistency. This step is important for binding the burgers together naturally.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the minced salmon, panko breadcrumbs, egg, green onion, dill, minced garlic, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper. Gently mix with your hands or a spatula until fully combined.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions. Shape each portion into a patty about 2 cm thick. Place the patties on a plate and refrigerate for 15 minutes to firm up.
While the patties chill, prepare the yogurt sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon juice, and hot sauce (if using). Set aside.
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium heat and add the olive oil. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the salmon patties into the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and fully cooked, reaching an internal temperature of 63°C (145°F).
Lightly toast the burger buns on the skillet or grill, if desired.
Assemble the burgers by layering each toasted bun with a lettuce leaf, a cooked salmon patty, a slice of tomato, and a dollop of the yogurt sauce. Close the burger with the top bun.
Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as sweet potato fries or a simple salad. Enjoy your fresh salmon burger!
