Ingredients
- 1 1/4 pounds salmon fillet boneless, skinless
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 shallot diced
- 2 teaspoons lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon dill dried
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper ground
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 4 burger buns
- lettuce tomato slices, red onion slices
- tomato
- red onion
Mustard sauce:
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons horseradish mustard
- 2 teaspoon honey
Instructions
- Start by chopping the salmon into large chunks and place them in a food processor.
- Add the mustard, chopped shallot, lemon zest, dill, salt, pepper, and breadcrumbs.
- Process in 1-second increments, for about 5 seconds, or just until coarsely ground. Scrape the side if needed. Do not over-process!
- Divide the salmon mixture into 4, and form 3/4 inch thick patties. Refrigerate the patties for 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a small jug, whisk the mustard sauce ingredients.
- Preheat a pan over medium heat. Cook the burgers for 3-4 minutes per side, or until nicely golden brown. Toast the buns, cut side down, for a couple of minutes.
- Alternatively, preheat an outdoor grill over medium heat. Oil the grates to prevent them from sticking.
- Grill the salmon burgers for 3-4 minutes per side. Grill the buns, cut side down for 1-2 minutes.
- Assemble the salmon burgers and serve with the mustard sauce.

Notes
- Storing leftovers: Store any leftover patties in an airtight container. They will last about 3 days in the fridge. The sauce should be stored separately (in the refrigerator) and will last about a week.
- To reheat: Reheat salmon patties over the stove on medium heat until warmed through or pop them in the oven for about 10 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit, flipping halfway through the cooking time.
- To freeze: Freeze uncooked patties on a baking sheet, then place them all together in a ziplock bag. Thaw in the fridge overnight before cooking.
