Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Salmon fillet (skinless, boneless)
- 60 g Panko breadcrumbs
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tbsp Lemon zest
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 4 Brioche or burger buns
- 4 large Lettuce leaves
- 1 large Tomato (sliced)
- 4 tbsp Mayonnaise
- 2 tsp Lemon juice
Instructions
Cut the salmon fillet into large chunks and place in a food processor. Pulse a few times until coarsely chopped. Avoid over-processing; the mixture should still have small pieces of salmon.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped salmon, panko breadcrumbs, egg, lemon zest, parsley, garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Form the salmon mixture into four equal-sized patties. Place the patties on a plate or tray and refrigerate for 15 minutes to help them firm up.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the salmon patties to the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
While the burgers are cooking, toast the burger buns lightly in a separate pan or toaster, if desired.
In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise with the lemon juice for a tangy burger spread.
Assemble the burgers by spreading the lemon mayo on the bottom half of each bun. Top with a lettuce leaf, a cooked salmon patty, a slice of tomato, and the top bun.
Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes, such as sweet potato fries or a fresh salad.
