Ingredients

Salmon Burgers

  • 1.5 lbs fresh salmon
  • ½ cup Panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 green onions, diced
  • 2 tablespoon white sesame seeds
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil

Ginger Sriracha Mayo

  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Sriracha

Avocado Cucumber Salsa

  • 1 avocado, diced
  • 1 cup chopped cucumber
  • 1 green onion, diced
  • juice from ½ lime
  • dash of salt

Instructions

  • If the salmon has skin on it, carefully remove it. Do it by using a sharp knife and cutting the salmon meat away from the skin.
  • Finely chop the salmon. You can do this with a knife or by pulsing it in a food processor until it is finely chopped. It shouldn't be pureed.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the chopped salmon, breadcrumbs, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, green onions, and sesame seeds.
  • Form the mixture into four patties and place on a plate. Cover and chill for 30 minutes.
  • While they are chilling, you can make the mayo and salsa.

Ginger Sriracha Mayonnaise:

  • Combine the mayonnaise, ginger, and Sriracha in a small bowl and stir to combine.
  • Refrigerate until ready to use.

Avocado Cucumber Salsa:

  • In a bowl, add the avocado, cucumber, green onion, lime juice, and salt.
  • Stir to combine.

To Cook the Salmon Burgers:

  • In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
  • Add the salmon patties and cook on each side for about 4 minutes. The outside should be golden and the inside should be cooked through.
  • Serve on buns topped with ginger Sriracha mayo and avocado cucumber salsa.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

  • You can prep the burger mixture, cucumber avocado salsa, and ginger sriracha mayo in advance.
