Ingredients

• 450 g salmon fillet (skinless)
• 60 g panko breadcrumbs
• 1 large egg
• 2 stalks green onion, finely chopped
• 2 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp lemon zest
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 4 pieces burger buns
• 4 pieces lettuce leaves
• 4 slices sliced tomato
• 60 g plain Greek yogurt
• 30 g mayonnaise
• 1 tsp lemon juice
• 2 dashes hot sauce (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Using a sharp knife, finely chop the salmon fillet into a minced, paste-like consistency. This step is important for binding the burgers together naturally.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the minced salmon, panko breadcrumbs, egg, green onion, dill, minced garlic, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper. Gently mix with your hands or a spatula until fully combined.

Step 3

Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions. Shape each portion into a patty about 2 cm thick. Place the patties on a plate and refrigerate for 15 minutes to firm up.

Step 4

While the patties chill, prepare the yogurt sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon juice, and hot sauce (if using). Set aside.

Step 5

Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium heat and add the olive oil. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the salmon patties into the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and fully cooked, reaching an internal temperature of 63°C (145°F).

Step 6

Lightly toast the burger buns on the skillet or grill, if desired.

Step 7

Assemble the burgers by layering each toasted bun with a lettuce leaf, a cooked salmon patty, a slice of tomato, and a dollop of the yogurt sauce. Close the burger with the top bun.

Step 8

Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as sweet potato fries or a simple salad. Enjoy your fresh salmon burger!
