Ingredients

• 1 pound fresh salmon fillet

• 2 pieces green onions
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon gluten-free soy sauce or tamari
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 1 large egg
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 pieces gluten-free burger buns
• 4 pieces lettuce leaves
• 1 piece sliced tomato

Directions

Step 1

Remove the skin from the salmon fillet if necessary, then finely chop the salmon into small pieces.

Step 2

Thinly slice the green onions and chop the fresh parsley.

Step 3

In a large bowl, combine the chopped salmon, gluten-free breadcrumbs, sliced green onions, chopped parsley, Dijon mustard, gluten-free soy sauce or tamari, lemon zest, and beaten egg.

Step 4

Season the mixture with salt and black pepper. Mix well to combine.

Step 5

Form the mixture into 4 equal patties. Ensure they are firmly packed so they hold together during cooking.

Once the oil is hot, add the salmon patties to the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through.

Toast the gluten-free burger buns in the oven or a skillet until lightly browned.

Step 9

Assemble the burgers by placing each salmon patty on a bun, and topping with a lettuce leaf and a slice of tomato.
