A friend of mine gave me a very nice piece salmon and this recipe for salmon burgers. They were SO good, I will be making them again. If you want to pack as many nutrients as possible into one meal, salmon is a good choice.

  • Prep: 5 mins
  • Cook: 2 hrs 5 mins
  • Yields: 6 Servings

Ingredients

1¼ pounds salmon fillet, skinned and any tiny bones removed

2 Tablespoons fresh dill, snipped

2 Tablespoons fresh chives, snipped

1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves

½ teaspoon salt

⅛ teaspoon black pepper

½ teaspoon lemon zest

1 Tablespoon lemon juice

2 Tablespoons olive oil

½ cup panko crumbs (see Note) or plain dried bread crumbs

6 potato rolls, warmed

Cucumber Sauce

½ cucumber, peeled and coarsely grated

½ cup plain yogurt

2 Tablespoons mayonnaise

1 scallion, minced

2 Tablespoons dill, snipped

⅛ teaspoon salt

Directions

1Coarsely cut salmon into cubes and place in the bowl of a food processor. Add dill, chives, thyme, salt, pepper, lemon zest, lemon juice and 2 teaspoons of oil. Pulse briefly 2 or 3 times to roughly chop fish and combine ingredients. The salmon will hold together like ground meat yet still have some shape. Do not over process.

2Shape salmon mixture into 6 patties about 3/4 inch thick. Place patties on a small baking sheet covered with plastic wrap. Refrigerate, covered, for 2 hours.

3To cook, place panko crumbs in a shallow bowl. Gently turn patties in crumbs to coat all over.

4Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté patties 3 minutes; turn, sauté 3 minutes longer or until golden and crisp.

5Serve burgers on warmed buns. Top with a generous dollop of Cucumber Sauce. Pass extra sauce.

Cucumber Sauce

1Press excess liquid from cucumber between several sheets of paper towels. Combine the cucumber, yogurt, mayonnaise, scallion, dill and salt in a small bowl. Refrigerate, covered, for 2 hours.
