Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 600 grams fresh salmon fillet, skin removed
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 stalks green onion, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 cup mayonnaise
- 1 small dill pickle, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 4 pieces brioche buns
- 4 pieces lettuce leaves
- 1 large tomato, sliced
Instructions
Cut the salmon into small chunks and pulse in a food processor until coarsely chopped. Be careful not to over-process; the mixture should look roughly minced, not pureed.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped salmon, panko breadcrumbs, egg, Dijon mustard, green onion, lemon zest, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until well combined.
Divide the salmon mixture into four equal portions and shape into burger patties. Place the patties on a plate, cover, and refrigerate for 15 minutes to help them firm up.
Meanwhile, prepare the dill tartar sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, chopped dill pickle, fresh dill, and lemon juice. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the salmon patties and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Lightly toast the brioche buns in the same skillet or in a toaster.
Assemble the burgers by spreading a generous amount of dill tartar sauce on the bottom of each bun. Add a lettuce leaf, a salmon patty, and a slice of tomato. Top with the other half of the bun.
Serve the salmon burgers immediately with extra dill tartar sauce on the side, if desired.
