Calories: 195kcal
Ingredients
- 1¾ pounds salmon fillet, skin removed, cut into large chunks (preferably wild-caught salmon)
- 1 cup loosely packed dill, washed and dried
- ½ cup roughly chopped scallions (green onions), washed and dried
- 2 teaspoons lemon zest (from about 2 medium-sized lemons)
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons Sriracha Hot Chili Sauce or chili paste
- 1 teaspoon salt
- a few turns of freshly ground black pepper
- grapeseed (or other neutral) oil for the pan
Instructions
- Blend the ingredients. Add the salmon, dill, scallions, lemon zest, lemon juice, Sriracha or chili paste, and salt to a food processor fitted with the blade attachment. Blend just until it's broken down into small pieces.
- Shape the burgers. Line a baking sheet with parchment, and evenly divide the salmon mixture into 6 patties, about ½ cup each. They should be about 1½ inches or so thick . Sprinkle with freshly ground black pepper.
- Sauté. Coat the bottom of a large nonstick skillet with grapeseed oil and place it over medium to medium-high heat. Once the pan is very hot, add the salmon patties, with a bit of space between them. Flip them when the bottom is golden brown, after about 2 minutes. Then sauté the other side for another couple of minutes, until it's golden brown as well.
- Serve. Now you can add this delicious burger to your favorite bun, with your favorite burger add-ons, and serve.
