Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 pound Salmon, skin and bones removed
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs, divided
- 1 medium Yellow onion, peeled and diced
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoons Fresh lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- ½ teaspoon Salt
- ¼ teaspoon Pepper
- ⅛ teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- ⅓ cup Vegetable oil
Instructions
- Step 1: Finely chop the salmon using a sharp knife or pulse it in a food processor until roughly minced, maintaining some texture.
- Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped salmon with ¾ cup of breadcrumbs, diced onion, mayonnaise, lemon juice, parsley, Dijon mustard, salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper. Mix gently until well incorporated.
- Step 3: Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a burger patty. If too wet, sprinkle in remaining breadcrumbs.
- Step 4: Chill the patties on a plate or baking sheet lined with parchment paper for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
- Step 5: Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chilled patties and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
- Step 6: Remove from skillet, let rest for a minute, and serve on a bun or with a salad. Squeeze additional lemon juice on top if desired.
Notes
Ensure your salmon is fresh for the best flavor. For a gluten-free option, substitute breadcrumbs with gluten-free ones. Adjust cayenne pepper to your spice tolerance.
