Description
Delicious salmon burgers topped with a creamy Green Goddess dressing, perfect for a summer grill.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound fresh salmon fillets, skin removed
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup finely chopped green onions
- 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 hamburger buns
- Lettuce leaves, for serving
- Tomato slices, for serving
- For the Green Goddess Dressing:
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon anchovy paste (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat.
- In a food processor, pulse the salmon fillets until coarsely chopped. Be careful not to over-process; you want a chunky texture.
- In a large bowl, combine the chopped salmon, breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, green onions, and parsley. Mix until just combined.
- Form the mixture into 4 equal patties, about 3/4 inch thick. Place them on a plate and refrigerate for 15-30 minutes to help them firm up.
- While the patties chill, prepare the Green Goddess dressing by whisking together mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon juice, chives, parsley, anchovy paste (if using), salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Adjust seasoning to taste.
- Lightly oil the grill or grill pan. Cook the salmon patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they are cooked through and have nice grill marks.
- 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, adding lettuce and tomato, and drizzling with Green Goddess dressing.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add a teaspoon of sriracha or your favorite hot sauce to the salmon mixture.
- Substitute canned salmon for fresh salmon if you’re short on time; just ensure to drain it well before mixing.
