Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams Fresh salmon fillets, skinless and boneless
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 60 grams Whole wheat breadcrumbs
- 0.5 medium Red onion, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon Capers, drained and chopped
- 2 tablespoons Parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 Whole-grain sandwich buns
- 4 Lettuce leaves
- 1 medium Tomato, sliced
- 1 medium Avocado, sliced
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Start by chopping the fresh salmon fillets into small chunks and place them in a food processor.
Add the Dijon mustard, whole wheat breadcrumbs, finely chopped red onion, chopped capers, chopped parsley, lemon zest, egg, salt, and black pepper into the food processor.
Pulse the mixture a few times until it is well combined and holds together but is still slightly chunky to retain texture.
Divide the salmon mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, about 1-inch thick.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the salmon patties into the skillet.
Cook each patty for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the whole-grain sandwich buns if desired.
Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each toasted bun, followed by a salmon patty.
Top each patty with slices of tomato and avocado.
Close the burgers with the top half of the buns.
Serve immediately and enjoy your heart-healthy salmon burger.
