I am always looking for easy ways to add salmon and other healthy omega-3-rich fish to my family's diet. This is a quick, simple and very flavorful way to prepare a casual salmon meal.
Ingredients
- 1 T powdered wasabi or japanese horseradish
- 1 t honey
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 1.5 pounds of salmon, skinned and boned and chopped into ¼
- 4 green onions, thinly sliced including white and green parts
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 4 T minced fresh ginger
- 2 t toasted sesame seed oil
- 4 large butter lettuce leaves or a couple handfuls of arugula
- ½ cucumber, thinly sliced
- 4 radishes, thinly sliced
- 4 hamburger buns or large lettuce leafs for gluten free, low carb or paleo version
Directions
- 1Put wasabi, honey and soy sauce in a small bowl and whisk to combine. Set aside.
- 2In a medium bowl put chopped salmon, eggs, green onion, minced ginger and sesame seed oil. Use your hands to gently combine.
- 3Heat up a non-stick grill pan or large frying pan to medium heat. Using a large spoon or ladle, scoop the fish mixture into four "patties" directly on to the hot pan. Cook the patties for 4 minutes until they begin to change color and firm up. Carefully flip the burgers over and continue cooking for another 3 or 4 minutes.
- 4Spoon ¼ of the wasabi/honey/soy sauce mixture over each of the burgers. Sauce will sizzle and caramelize quickly. Remove burgers after about 15 seconds. Keep warm while you toast the buns in the pan.
- 5Serve salmon burgers on toasted buns with butter lettuce, cucumber and radish slices.
