Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams salmon fillets (skinless, boneless)
- 60 grams panko breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
- 2 stalks green onion (finely sliced)
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 120 grams sour cream
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 clove garlic (finely minced)
- 4 pieces burger buns
- 4 pieces lettuce leaves
- 1 large tomato (sliced)
Instructions
Dice the salmon fillets into small chunks and place them in a food processor. Pulse gently until the salmon is coarsely chopped but not pureed.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped salmon, panko breadcrumbs, egg, dijon mustard, parsley, green onion, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper. Mix until evenly combined.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a burger patty. Place the patties on a plate, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 15 minutes to firm up.
While the patties chill, make the lemon sour cream sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together the sour cream, mayonnaise, lemon juice, and minced garlic. Set the sauce aside.
Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook the salmon patties for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Toast the burger buns lightly in the skillet or toaster.
Assemble the burgers by spreading a generous amount of the lemon sour cream sauce on the bottom bun. Add a lettuce leaf, a slice of tomato, and the cooked salmon patty. Top with the upper half of the bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade salmon burgers with lemon sour cream sauce!
