Ingredients

For the Salmon Patties:

  • 1/2 lb 225 grams salmon (skinless)
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • a pinch of salt
  • a pinch of black pepper
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp lemon zest optional
  • a handful of fresh dill
  • a handful of fresh parsley
  • 1 tbsp oil
  • 1 garlic clove minced or 1/4 tsp garlic powder

For the Toppings:

  • Mozzarella optional
  • Tomato
  • Lettuce

For the Salmon Burger Sauce:

  • 1/4 cup regular mayo
  • 1 small pickle about 1 tbsp chopped
  • 1 tsp capers
  • 1 tbsp fresh dill finely chopped
  • 1 small green onion or spring onion finely chopped
  • 1 tsp fresh parsley finely chopped
  • 1 tsp dijon mustard
  • a pinch of salt
  • a pinch of black pepper
  • a pinch of sugar

Instructions

  • Make the burger sauce by combining chopped herbs (green onion, parsley, and dill), mustard, mayo, chopped capers, chopped pickles, a pinch of salt, a pinch of pepper, and a pinch of sugar.
  • To a food processor, add the chopped salmon, egg, breadcrumbs, salt, pepper, lemon juice, lemon zest, dill, and parsley.
  • Using the chop or pulse function, chop the mixture until you have a slightly chunky consistency.
  • Shape 2 patties with your hands.
  • To a pan, over medium heat, add 1 tbsp of oil. When the oil is hot, add the salmon patties.
  • Cook the salmon patties until fully cooked. Mine took about 5 minutes on each side. The FDA recommends cooking salmon until it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
  • (optional) Add mozzarella slices to melt on top.
  • Toast the buns (optional) in a pan for a couple of minutes.
  • Assemble (toasted bun, salmon patty, sauce, tomato, lettuce).
