Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams salmon fillet, skinless
- 30 grams fresh cilantro, chopped
- 60 grams panko breadcrumbs
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (for cooking)
- 4 burger buns
- 4 lettuce leaves
- 4 slices sliced tomato
- 4 tablespoons mayonnaise or preferred sauce
Instructions
Remove any small pin bones from the salmon fillet and cut it into large chunks. Use a food processor to pulse the salmon until it's coarse and chunky (do not over-process).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the processed salmon, fresh cilantro, panko breadcrumbs, minced garlic, egg, lime zest, lime juice, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper.
Mix the ingredients gently but thoroughly until they are fully combined.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and form each portion into a burger patty, about 1/2-inch thick.
Heat olive oil over medium heat in a non-stick skillet or grill pan.
Cook the salmon patties for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Be careful not to overcook to keep them moist.
Toast the burger buns lightly if desired.
Assemble the burgers: Spread a tablespoon of mayonnaise or preferred sauce on the bottom halves of the buns. Place a lettuce leaf, a cooked salmon patty, and a slice of tomato on top. Cover with the top halves of the buns.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Fresh Salmon Cilantro Burgers!
