Ingredients

• 500 grams Fresh salmon fillets (skinless)
• 60 grams Panko breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons Hoisin sauce
• 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger (grated)
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 2 stalks Scallions (finely chopped)
• 1 teaspoon Low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 1 large Egg (lightly beaten)
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 teaspoons Vegetable oil (optional, for cooking)
• 4 pieces Whole-grain burger buns
• 4 leaves Leafy greens (optional, for serving)
• 8 slices Sliced cucumber (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Cut the fresh salmon fillets into chunks and place them in a food processor. Pulse until the salmon is coarsely ground, being careful not to over-process it into a paste.

Step 2

Transfer the ground salmon to a large mixing bowl. Add the panko breadcrumbs, hoisin sauce, grated ginger, minced garlic, chopped scallions, soy sauce, sesame oil, lightly beaten egg, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Gently mix the ingredients until well-combined, but avoid overworking the mixture to keep the patties tender.

Step 4

Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into burger patties, about 2 cm thick. Place the patties on a plate or tray and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to help them firm up.

Step 5

Heat a non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium heat. If desired, add the vegetable oil and allow it to heat up.

Step 6

Cook the salmon burgers for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through with an internal temperature of 63°C (145°F). Avoid pressing down on the patties while cooking to retain their juices.

Step 7

Toast the whole-grain burger buns lightly on the skillet or grill if desired.

Step 8

Assemble the burgers by placing a salmon patty on the bottom half of each bun. Add leafy greens and sliced cucumber on top, if using, before covering with the top bun.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy your healthy, flavorful salmon burgers!
