Salmon Burger with Basil Sauce
Description
The recipe starts with processing whole wheat bread into breadcrumbs. Fresh salmon is blended with garlic, lemongrass, shallots, ginger, chili, and lime juice to create a flavorful paste. Formed into patties and cooked in olive oil, the burgers develop a lightly browned crust while remaining moist inside.
The basil sauce combines Greek yogurt, garlic, lime juice, and fresh basil for a creamy, tangy topping, offsetting the savory spiced salmon. Serving options include placing the burger in buns with coleslaw and lettuce, adding crunch and freshness.
To improve texture, substituting Panko breadcrumbs can enhance crispiness. Chilling the patties before cooking helps keep them intact and improves handling. Serving the burgers hot ensures optimal flavor and texture, and the sauce adds freshness and balance.

Notes
- Use Panko breadcrumbs instead of whole wheat breadcrumbs for a crispier burger crust.
- Chill the formed patties in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes; this helps them hold together while cooking.
- Ensure the pan and oil are hot before adding patties to achieve a good sear and prevent sticking.
- For flavor variations, substitute Thai seasonings with lemon juice and fresh herbs or try a Mexican spice blend.
