Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 oz Fresh salmon fillet
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoon Chopped fresh dill
- 2 tablespoon Chopped green onions
- 1 large Egg white
- 0.25 cup Panko bread crumbs
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- Olive oil cooking spray
- 4 Whole wheat burger buns
- 4 Lettuce leaves
- 4 Tomato slices
- 4 Red onion slices
Instructions
Start by finely chopping the fresh salmon fillet into small pieces or pulse in a food processor until coarsely ground. Be careful not to over-process.
In a large bowl, combine the chopped salmon, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, dill, green onions, egg white, panko bread crumbs, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and form each portion into a patty. Make sure the patties are evenly shaped for even cooking.
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly spray with olive oil cooking spray.
Place the salmon patties in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and fully cooked through. Handle them gently while flipping as they are delicate.
Toast the whole wheat burger buns in a toaster or on a griddle until lightly crisped on the cut side.
Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by a salmon patty, tomato slice, and red onion slice. Top with the other half of the bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious low-fat salmon burger!
