Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound skinless salmon filets
- 2 tablespoons chopped red onion
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
- 1/2 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
- 8 tablespoons panko breadcrumbs, divided, plus more as needed
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 1 teaspoon coarse salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoon canola oil
- 1/2 cup green goddess dressing
- 4 hamburger buns (such as brioche or whole wheat), sliced
- Your choice of burger toppings (butter lettuce, sliced tomato, shaved red onion)
Instructions
- Chop the salmon into 1/4-inch chunks and place half in a large mixing bowl.
- Add the other half to the bowl of a food processor with the red onion, chives, parsley, dill, ginger, 4 tablespoons of the panko, egg, salt, and pepper. Pulse several times until the salmon is finely chopped and the other ingredients are evenly mixed into the fish.
- Transfer the mixture to the mixing bowl with the reserved chunks of salmon. Gently fold everything together. Divide and form into 4 patties that are about 1 inch thick, placing some panko in your hands if the mixture is too sticky to form.
- Transfer the patties to a plate, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or preferably for 1 hour.
- Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high, about 350-400°F.
- Place the remaining 4 tablespoons of panko on a plate. Uncover the salmon patties and lightly coat them with the panko, pressing firmly to make sure the breadcrumbs adhere. If they feel too sticky or delicate, add more breadcrumbs 1 tablespoon at a time as needed to the outside to keep them intact. Brush or drizzle lightly with the canola oil on both sides.
- Place the patties on the grill and cook undisturbed until a crust forms on the bottom, about 2-3 minutes, and then carefully flip them over. Cook for an additional 2 minutes. The internal temperature of the salmon burgers should read 135°F.
- Remove the patties from the grill and then assemble on the buns. Top with even amounts of the green goddess dressing and dress with your desired toppings.
