Ingredients
- 500 grams salmon fillet (skinless)
- 60 grams panko breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- 2 stalks green onion (finely chopped)
- 1 clove garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 120 grams mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons pickle relish
- 1 tablespoon capers (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 4 pieces hamburger buns
- 4 pieces lettuce leaves
- 8 slices tomato slices
Directions
Step 1
Finely chop the salmon fillet or pulse it in a food processor until coarsely ground. Avoid over-processing; it should have some texture.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped salmon, panko breadcrumbs, egg, green onion, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper. Mix until just combined.
Step 3
Form the salmon mixture into 4 evenly-sized patties. Place them on a plate and refrigerate for 15 minutes to firm up.
Step 4
While the patties chill, prepare the tartar mayonnaise by mixing the mayonnaise, pickle relish, capers, and lemon juice in a small bowl. Set aside.
Step 5
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Add olive oil and allow it to heat up.
Step 6
Cook the salmon patties for 4-5 minutes per side, until they are golden brown and cooked through. Handle them carefully while flipping, as they are delicate.
Step 7
Toast the hamburger buns lightly in the same skillet or on the grill if desired.
Step 8
Assemble the burgers by spreading tartar mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun. Layer with a lettuce leaf, 2 tomato slices, a cooked salmon patty, and the top half of the bun.
Step 9
Serve immediately and enjoy your Salmon Burgers with Tartar Mayonnaise!
