Ingredients

• 500 grams fresh salmon fillets, skin removed
• 100 grams panko breadcrumbs
• 1 large egg
• 1 shallot, finely chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 120 grams mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon dry sherry
• 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped
• 4 hamburger buns
• 4 lettuce leaves
• 8 slices sliced tomatoes

Directions

Step 1

Cut the salmon fillets into chunks and place them in a food processor. Pulse until coarsely ground, taking care to avoid over-processing.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground salmon, panko breadcrumbs, egg, shallot, garlic, parsley, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until evenly incorporated.

Step 3

Divide the salmon mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a patty about 2.5 cm (1 inch) thick. Place the patties on a plate and refrigerate for 10 minutes to help them hold their shape.

Step 4

While the patties chill, prepare the herbed sherry mayonnaise by whisking together the mayonnaise, dry sherry, dill, and chives in a small bowl. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.

Step 5

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the salmon patties and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 6

Lightly toast the hamburger buns in a toaster or on a grill for extra texture.

Step 7

To assemble the burgers, spread a generous amount of herbed sherry mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun. Top with a lettuce leaf, a cooked salmon patty, two slices of tomato, and the top half of the bun.

Step 8

Serve immediately and enjoy your fresh salmon burgers with herbed sherry mayonnaise.
