Ingredients

• 450 grams salmon fillet, skinless
• 30 grams fresh cilantro, chopped
• 60 grams panko breadcrumbs
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon lime zest
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil (for cooking)
• 4 burger buns
• 4 lettuce leaves
• 4 slices sliced tomato
• 4 tablespoons mayonnaise or preferred sauce

Directions

Step 1

Remove any small pin bones from the salmon fillet and cut it into large chunks. Use a food processor to pulse the salmon until it's coarse and chunky (do not over-process).

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the processed salmon, fresh cilantro, panko breadcrumbs, minced garlic, egg, lime zest, lime juice, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Mix the ingredients gently but thoroughly until they are fully combined.

Step 4

Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and form each portion into a burger patty, about 1/2-inch thick.

Step 5

Heat olive oil over medium heat in a non-stick skillet or grill pan.

Step 6

Cook the salmon patties for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Be careful not to overcook to keep them moist.

Step 7

Toast the burger buns lightly if desired.

Step 8

Assemble the burgers: Spread a tablespoon of mayonnaise or preferred sauce on the bottom halves of the buns. Place a lettuce leaf, a cooked salmon patty, and a slice of tomato on top. Cover with the top halves of the buns.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy your Fresh Salmon Cilantro Burgers!
