Savory Salmon Burger Recipes

Steps:

• Cut three-quarters of the salmon into 1/4-inch pieces. Put in a large bowl. Cut the rest of the salmon into chunks; transfer the chunks to a food processor along with the mustard, mayonnaise, lemon juice, lemon zest and cayenne. Pulse to make a paste. Add the pureed salmon mixture to the bowl with the diced salmon. Add the scallions, 2 tablespoons panko, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and black pepper to taste. Gently mix until just combined.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and brush with olive oil. Divide the salmon mixture into 4 mounds on the parchment paper. With damp hands, pat into 4-inch-wide, 3/4-inch-thick patties. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 30 minutes.
• Preheat the broiler. Spread the remaining 1 cup panko on a plate. Press both sides of the salmon patties in the panko. Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the patties (in batches if necessary) and cook until browned on the bottom, 3 to 4 minutes, adjusting the heat if necessary. Turn and cook until the other side is browned and the patties feel springy in the center, 3 to 4 more minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain; season with salt.
• Meanwhile, arrange the buns, cut-side up, on a broiler pan and broil until toasted, 1 to 2 minutes. Serve the patties on the buns; top with tartar sauce and arugula.

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium-high.
• Tear one of the hamburger buns into small pieces and pulse in a food processor until finely ground. Cut the salmon fillet in half. Cut one half into large chunks and the other half into small dice. Add the large chunks to the food processor with the bread crumbs and add the mayonnaise, Dijon, jalapeno, lemon zest, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Pulse until the salmon is ground to a paste. Transfer the mixture to a medium bowl and stir in the diced salmon; fold in the chives and parsley.
• Form the salmon mixture into four 3/4-inch-thick patties.
• Lightly oil the grill grates. Grill the patties, turning once, until well-marked on both sides and just cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes per side.
• Meanwhile, split and lightly toast the 4 remaining buns.
• Assemble burgers with the lettuce, tomato, red onion, pickles, mustard and mayonnaise.

Steps:

• Prepare salmon by cutting into strips, then chopping or shredding salmon, being careful to remove any bones.
• In a large bowl, combine salmon, breadcrumbs, onions, mustard, horseradish, eggs, rosemary, salt, and pepper to taste.
• Chill for 30 minutes.
• Prepare grill for medium-high heat.
• Form salmon mixture into 8 patties, and lightly coat each patty with butter.
• Cook 4-5 minutes on each side.
• Place patties on rolls, and top with lettuce and tomato.
