If you are in the habit of grabbing something and holding it in your hands while munching on it, then salmon burgers are quite a treat for your taste buds. Salmon is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, protein, vitamin B12 and selenium.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 pounds boned and skinned fresh wild salmon, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 tablespoon drained capers, chopped
2/3 cup organic panko (Japanese) bread crumbs
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 egg, beaten
1 tablespoon butter
4 hamburger buns, toasted
tartar sauce, dijon mustard or dill sauce (choose one)
coleslaw
Directions:
1. In food processor, pulse the salmon cubes several times until coarsely ground flakes. Place ground salmon in large bowl: stir in capers, bread crumbs, lemon juice, pepper, salt and egg – mix until fully combined. Divide mixture into 4 firmly compressed patties.
2. In a large sauté pan, melt butter over medium-high heat - add burgers and sauté, adjust heat as needed; cook until burgers are golden brown, then turn (2 - 2 1/2 minutes per side).
Preparation:
Spread tartar sauce, dijon mustard or dill sauce on inside of each toasted bun; place coleslaw on the base of bun, place a burger on top of slaw. Garnish with fresh organic sliced cucumbers and tomatoes. Serve immediately.
Servings: 4
