Ingredients

• 1 pound Salmon fillet (skinless, boneless)
• 0.5 cup Panko breadcrumbs
• 1 large Egg
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons Fresh dill (chopped)
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 4 units Havarti cheese slices
• 4 units Brioche burger buns
• 1 cup Arugula or spinach
• 4 units Tomato slices
• 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Fresh dill (for aioli)
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt (for aioli)
• 0.125 teaspoon Black pepper (for aioli)

Directions

Step 1

1. Prepare the Salmon: Using a sharp knife, finely chop the salmon fillet until it resembles ground meat. Alternatively, use a food processor, pulsing gently to avoid over-processing.

Step 2

2. Make the Salmon Patty Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped salmon, panko breadcrumbs, egg, garlic powder, Dijon mustard, fresh dill, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well incorporated.

Step 3

3. Form the Patties: Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape into burger patties about ¾ inch thick. Place them on a plate and refrigerate for at least 10 minutes to firm up.

Step 4

4. Make the Lemon-Dill Aioli: In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, fresh dill, salt, and black pepper. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.

Step 5

5. Cook the Salmon Patties: Heat olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 6

6. Melt Havarti on Burgers: During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of Havarti cheese on each patty and cover the skillet to melt the cheese.

Step 7

7. Toast the Buns: While the patties cook, lightly toast the brioche buns in a separate skillet or toaster.

Step 8

8. Assemble the Burgers: Spread a generous amount of the lemon-dill aioli on the bottom half of each bun. Place a patty with melted Havarti on the aioli, followed by arugula or spinach, a tomato slice, and the top bun.

Step 9

9. Serve: Serve the salmon burgers warm with your favorite side, such as sweet potato fries or a simple salad. Enjoy!
