Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Salmon fillet (skinless, chopped finely or minced)
- 60 grams Panko breadcrumbs
- 1 large Egg
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 medium Shallot (minced)
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil (for cooking)
- 4 pieces Burger buns
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 1 large Tomato (sliced)
- 4 tablespoons Tartar sauce or mayonnaise (optional, for topping)
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the finely chopped or minced salmon with panko breadcrumbs, egg, minced garlic, minced shallot, Dijon mustard, chopped parsley, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper.
Mix gently but thoroughly until the ingredients are well incorporated. Do not overmix, as this can make the burgers dense.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, about 2.5 cm (1 inch) thick. Place the patties on a plate and refrigerate for 10-15 minutes to allow them to firm up.
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium heat and add olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, cook the salmon patties for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown on the outside and cooked through on the inside. Be gentle when flipping, as the patties are delicate.
Toast the burger buns lightly in the skillet or toaster, if desired.
Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by a cooked salmon patty, a slice of tomato, and a dollop of tartar sauce or mayonnaise (if using). Cover with the top half of the bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade savory salmon burgers!
