Ingredients

  • tamari or soy sauce, reduced-sodium, 1 Tablespoon
  • 1 teaspoon sriracha
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil toasted
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • ½ teaspoon ginger grated fresh
  • 1 pound salmon skin and bones removed, fillet
  • 2 scallions finely chopped
  • 1 egg lightly beaten
  • 4 gluten-free burger buns optional
  • 3 Tablespoons mayonnaise avocado
  • 1 teaspoon sriracha
  • 1 avocado sliced
  • ¼ red onion sliced

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Add tamari, Sriracha, honey, sesame oil, garlic and ginger to a small bowl and whisk to combine. Set aside. In another small bowl combine mayo and 1 teaspoon of Sriracha to use a sauce for your burgers.
  2. Chop salmon into pieces that are about 1/4 inch thick using a chef’s knife.
  3. Transfer chopped salmon into to a large bowl. Add scallions, egg and tamari mixture to the salmon and toss to combine.
  4. Form the mixture into 4 patties using your hands. Don’t worry that the mixture is moist and loose, it will hold together once the first side is cooked.
  5. Coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray. Turn heat to medium and allow pan to heat up for about 1 minute. Add the patties and cook for 4 minutes. Turn and continue to cook until firm and fragrant, about 2-3 more minutes. If you decide you want to try grilling the salmon burgers, I highly recommend using a grill pan as I’m not sure how well they would hold up on a grated grill.
  6. Serve immediately with Sriracha mayo, avocado slices, red onion and a few pieces of chopped cilantro. Use a burger bun (gluten-free, if needed) or skip the bun all together and use a lettuce wrap instead.

Notes

  • When buying the fresh salmon, ask an attendant in the fish department to skin and de-bone it for you. If that’s not possible, here’s how to skin a salmon fillet at home: Place it on a cutting board, skin side down. Sprinkle one end of the salmon with salt to make the fish less slippery or use a paper towel. Hold the salted end of the fish and use a sharp knife to cut between the flesh and the skin slowly until the fish pulls away from the skin.
