Salmon Burgers

Fast food,

{[['']]}

This tasty fish burger only sounds fancy—it’s no different than whipping ground beef into patties. Combine finely chopped salmon with binders—like egg whites, mustard, and breadcrumbs—and seasonings—like dill and salt—and form into patties. For an easy upgrade, swap traditional potato buns for brioche.

Hands-On Time 

25 minutes Total Time 35minutes

Ingredients
2 pounds salmon fillet, skin removed
2 egg whites

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/2 cup fresh bread crumbs (from 2 slices white bread, ground in a food processor)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill kosher salt
2 tablespoons olive oil (if cooking on a stovetop)
4 brioche buns, toasted Mayonnaise, yogurt, thinly sliced onion, and pickles (optional), for serving
Directions

•     Heat grill or stovetop to medium.
•     Finely chop the salmon. Place half in a large resealable plastic bag and use a flat-surfaced meat pounder or a rolling pin to mash it.
•     Place all the salmon in a large bowl. Combine with egg whites, mustard, bread crumbs, dill, and ½ teaspoon salt. Form four ¾-inch-thick patties.
•     Place the patties on grill. Cook 4 to 5 minutes per side. (On a stovetop, heat the oil in a grill pan over medium heat and cook patties 5 minutes per side.)
•     Serve the patties on the brioche buns, with the toppings of your choice.
