Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Fresh salmon fillets (skinless)
- 60 grams Panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons Hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger (grated)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 2 stalks Scallions (finely chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 large Egg (lightly beaten)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 teaspoons Vegetable oil (optional, for cooking)
- 4 pieces Whole-grain burger buns
- 4 leaves Leafy greens (optional, for serving)
- 8 slices Sliced cucumber (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Cut the fresh salmon fillets into chunks and place them in a food processor. Pulse until the salmon is coarsely ground, being careful not to over-process it into a paste.
Transfer the ground salmon to a large mixing bowl. Add the panko breadcrumbs, hoisin sauce, grated ginger, minced garlic, chopped scallions, soy sauce, sesame oil, lightly beaten egg, salt, and black pepper.
Gently mix the ingredients until well-combined, but avoid overworking the mixture to keep the patties tender.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into burger patties, about 2 cm thick. Place the patties on a plate or tray and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to help them firm up.
Heat a non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium heat. If desired, add the vegetable oil and allow it to heat up.
Cook the salmon burgers for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through with an internal temperature of 63°C (145°F). Avoid pressing down on the patties while cooking to retain their juices.
Toast the whole-grain burger buns lightly on the skillet or grill if desired.
Assemble the burgers by placing a salmon patty on the bottom half of each bun. Add leafy greens and sliced cucumber on top, if using, before covering with the top bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy your healthy, flavorful salmon burgers!
