Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh salmon fillet
- 0.5 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon fresh black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 whole grain hamburger buns
- 1 sliced tomato
- 4 lettuce leaves
- 0.5 thinly sliced red onion

Instructions
Remove the skin from the salmon fillet if necessary. Chop the salmon into small pieces and place in a large mixing bowl.
Add panko breadcrumbs, egg, lemon zest, dijon mustard, chopped fresh dill, minced garlic, and black pepper to the salmon.
Mix all ingredients thoroughly to combine, ensuring the mixture holds together well. If it's too wet, add a little more panko breadcrumbs.
Form the mixture into four equal-sized patties about 1-inch thick.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Cook the salmon patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the whole grain buns if desired.
Assemble the burgers by placing a salmon patty on each bun. Top with lettuce, a slice of tomato, red onion, and avocado slices.
Serve immediately with your favorite low sodium condiments, if desired.
