Ingredients
- 600 grams fresh salmon fillet, skin removed
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 stalks green onion, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 cup mayonnaise
- 1 small dill pickle, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 4 pieces brioche buns
- 4 pieces lettuce leaves
- 1 large tomato, sliced
Directions
Step 1
Cut the salmon into small chunks and pulse in a food processor until coarsely chopped. Be careful not to over-process; the mixture should look roughly minced, not pureed.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped salmon, panko breadcrumbs, egg, Dijon mustard, green onion, lemon zest, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until well combined.
Step 3
Divide the salmon mixture into four equal portions and shape into burger patties. Place the patties on a plate, cover, and refrigerate for 15 minutes to help them firm up.
Step 4
Meanwhile, prepare the dill tartar sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, chopped dill pickle, fresh dill, and lemon juice. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
Step 5
Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the salmon patties and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 6
Lightly toast the brioche buns in the same skillet or in a toaster.
Step 7
Assemble the burgers by spreading a generous amount of dill tartar sauce on the bottom of each bun. Add a lettuce leaf, a salmon patty, and a slice of tomato. Top with the other half of the bun.
Step 8
Serve the salmon burgers immediately with extra dill tartar sauce on the side, if desired.
