Instructions
Cut the salmon into large chunks. Add half of the salmon to a food processor and pulse until it forms a paste-like consistency.
Add the remaining salmon pieces to the food processor and pulse a few times until coarsely chopped. Avoid over-processing.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the processed salmon, panko breadcrumbs, egg, Dijon mustard, green onions, minced garlic, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper. Mix until just combined.
Divide the salmon mixture into 4 equal portions and shape into patties about 1 inch thick. Place patties on a plate and refrigerate for 10-15 minutes to firm up.
While the patties are chilling, make the Green Goddess Sauce. In a food processor or blender, combine mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, parsley, basil, chives, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth. Transfer to a small bowl and set aside.
Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the chilled salmon patties and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Lightly toast the hamburger buns if desired. Assemble the burgers by layering each bun with a lettuce leaf, a cooked salmon patty, a slice of tomato, and a generous dollop of Green Goddess Sauce.
Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade Salmon Burgers with Green Goddess Sauce!
