Ingredients

• 500 grams salmon fillet, skinless
• 50 grams panko breadcrumbs
• 1 large egg
• 1 medium garlic clove, minced
• 2 stalks green onion, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
• 2 tablespoons olive oil (for cooking)
• 120 grams Greek yogurt
• 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped
• 2 teaspoons lemon juice
• 0.25 teaspoon salt (for sauce)
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper (for sauce)

Directions

Step 1

Chop the salmon fillet into small, even pieces. Transfer to a food processor and pulse a few times until coarsely ground, ensuring it’s not overly processed.

Step 2

Transfer the salmon into a mixing bowl, then add the panko breadcrumbs, egg, minced garlic, chopped green onions, parsley, lemon zest, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until fully combined.

Step 3

Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into round patties, about 1-inch thick. Place the patties on a plate and refrigerate for 10 minutes to firm up.

Step 4

While the patties chill, prepare the herb sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, dill, chives, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Set aside in the refrigerator.

Step 5

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the salmon patties. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 6

Remove the patties from the skillet and let them rest for 2 minutes.

Step 7

Serve the salmon burger patties warm, optionally in toasted burger buns or on a bed of greens. Drizzle generously with the herb sauce, and enjoy!
