Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams salmon fillet (skinless)
- 60 grams panko breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- 2 stalks green onion (finely chopped)
- 1 clove garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 120 grams mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons pickle relish
- 1 tablespoon capers (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 4 pieces hamburger buns
- 4 pieces lettuce leaves
- 8 slices tomato slices
Instructions
Finely chop the salmon fillet or pulse it in a food processor until coarsely ground. Avoid over-processing; it should have some texture.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped salmon, panko breadcrumbs, egg, green onion, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper. Mix until just combined.
Form the salmon mixture into 4 evenly-sized patties. Place them on a plate and refrigerate for 15 minutes to firm up.
While the patties chill, prepare the tartar mayonnaise by mixing the mayonnaise, pickle relish, capers, and lemon juice in a small bowl. Set aside.
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Add olive oil and allow it to heat up.
Cook the salmon patties for 4-5 minutes per side, until they are golden brown and cooked through. Handle them carefully while flipping, as they are delicate.
Toast the hamburger buns lightly in the same skillet or on the grill if desired.
Assemble the burgers by spreading tartar mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun. Layer with a lettuce leaf, 2 tomato slices, a cooked salmon patty, and the top half of the bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Salmon Burgers with Tartar Mayonnaise!
