Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams salmon fillet (skinless, boneless)
- 100 grams panko breadcrumbs
- 1 egg
- 2 stalks green onion (finely chopped)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 120 grams mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill (finely chopped)
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 4 hamburger buns
- 4 lettuce leaves
- 1 tomato (sliced)
Instructions
Roughly chop the salmon fillet and place it in a food processor. Pulse until the salmon is finely minced but not a paste.
Transfer the minced salmon to a mixing bowl. Add the panko breadcrumbs, egg, green onion, parsley, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently with your hands or a spatula until the ingredients are well combined.
Divide the salmon mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into burger patties about 1 inch thick. Place them on a plate and refrigerate for 10-15 minutes to help them firm up.
While the patties are chilling, prepare the dill mayo by combining the mayonnaise, fresh dill, and lemon juice in a small bowl. Mix well and set aside.
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and swirl to coat the pan.
Cook the salmon patties for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Be careful not to overcook the patties, as salmon can dry out quickly.
Meanwhile, lightly toast the hamburger buns in a separate pan or toaster for added texture.
Assemble the burgers: Spread a generous dollop of dill mayo on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Layer a lettuce leaf, a salmon patty, a tomato slice, and the top bun to complete the burger.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Jammin Salmon Burgers with Dill Mayo!
