Description
Delicious grilled salmon burgers topped with fresh avocado salsa, perfect for a summer meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound fresh salmon fillets, skin removed
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1 ripe avocado, diced
- 1 small tomato, diced
- 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 4 hamburger buns
- Lettuce leaves for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
- In a food processor, add the salmon fillets and pulse until finely chopped but not pureed.
- In a large bowl, combine the chopped salmon, breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and parsley. Mix until well combined.
- Form the mixture into four equal patties, about 1 inch thick.
- Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking. Grill the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and slightly charred.
- While the burgers are grilling, prepare the avocado salsa by combining the diced avocado, tomato, red onion, and lime juice in a bowl. Gently mix to combine and season with salt to taste.
- Toast the hamburger buns on the grill for 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
- Assemble the burgers by placing a salmon patty on each bun, topping with lettuce and a generous scoop of avocado salsa. Serve immediately.
Notes
- For added flavor, mix in some chopped jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce into the salmon mixture.
- Substitute the salmon with canned tuna or cooked shrimp for a different seafood twist.
