Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Salmon fillets, skinless
- 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 1 large Egg
- 2 Green onions, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Wasabi paste
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice, freshly squeezed
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 Burger buns
- 4 Lettuce leaves
- 0.5 Cucumber, thinly sliced
- 4 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 0.5 teaspoon Additional wasabi paste (optional)
Instructions
Chop the salmon fillets finely or pulse briefly in a food processor until they are coarsely ground. Avoid turning it into a paste.
In a large bowl, combine the chopped salmon, panko breadcrumbs, egg, green onions, grated ginger, soy sauce, wasabi paste, lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 1 inch thick.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the salmon patties to the skillet.
Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Handle gently when flipping as they are delicate.
While the patties are cooking, prepare the burger buns by lightly toasting them, if desired.
In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise with an additional 0.5 teaspoon of wasabi paste for an extra kick, if preferred.
Assemble the burgers: Spread the wasabi mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun. Layer with a lettuce leaf, a cooked salmon patty, cucumber slices, and the top bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful Wasabi Salmon Burgers!
