Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams salmon fillet, skinless
- 50 grams panko breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- 1 medium garlic clove, minced
- 2 stalks green onion, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (for cooking)
- 120 grams Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon salt (for sauce)
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper (for sauce)
Instructions
Chop the salmon fillet into small, even pieces. Transfer to a food processor and pulse a few times until coarsely ground, ensuring it’s not overly processed.
Transfer the salmon into a mixing bowl, then add the panko breadcrumbs, egg, minced garlic, chopped green onions, parsley, lemon zest, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until fully combined.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into round patties, about 1-inch thick. Place the patties on a plate and refrigerate for 10 minutes to firm up.
While the patties chill, prepare the herb sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, dill, chives, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Set aside in the refrigerator.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the salmon patties. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the patties from the skillet and let them rest for 2 minutes.
Serve the salmon burger patties warm, optionally in toasted burger buns or on a bed of greens. Drizzle generously with the herb sauce, and enjoy!
