Spiced Salmon Burgers
Summer is burger season and these salmon burgers are pretty much healthy (minus the bun). They’re topped with avocado (naturally), pickled red onions for a zip and a harissa mayo because I wanted to be fancy.
Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Salmon skinned and de-boned
- 1 cup green onion thinly sliced
- ¼ cup cilantro finely chopped
- ¼ cup parsley finely chopped
- ½ jalapeño finely chopped
- 2 eggs
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup panko bread crumbs
- 6 brioche buns
Toppings
- 2 avocados sliced
- Pickled red onions
Harissa Mayo
- 1 clove of garlic
- 3 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 4 teaspoons harissa paste
- ½ lemon zested and juiced
Instructions
- Combine garlic, mayo, harissa paste and lemon juice/zest and mix to combine. Taste and adjust lemon as needed. Set aside.
- Preheat an indoor grill pan to medium heat.
- Using a large sharp knife, finely dice the salmon. Place in a large bowl. Add the green onions, cilantro, parsley, jalapeño, eggs, olive oil and salt and mix to combine.
- Gently mix in the panko bread crumbs to the salmon, and form 6 patties. Transfer patties to the grill and grill the for about 4 minutes on each side.
- Generously spread the bottom buns with the harissa mayo and then put the burger on the bottom bun. Pile the Burger with layers of avocado and pickled red onions.
- Top with the other half of the bun and enjoy immediately.
Notes
Use any sort of aioli or mayo-based dressing that you'd like on these burgers. It's also another excuse to enjoy guacamole (as if I need an excuse!).
