A healthy and easy salmon burger featuring a unique technique of using panko breadcrumbs for a crispy texture. These burgers are a modern American classic, ideal for a quick weeknight dinner. Ready in 30 minutes with a delicious, flavorful taste.

Ingredients

• 1 lb salmon fillet, skinless and finely chopped
• 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 1 large egg, lightly beaten
• 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
• 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
• 4 hamburger buns
• Lettuce, tomato, and red onion for serving

Directions

1. In a medium bowl, combine the chopped salmon, panko breadcrumbs, egg, red onion, dill, and Dijon mustard.
2. Season with salt and pepper, then mix gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
3. Critical Step/Tip: Form the mixture into four equal patties, about 1-inch thick. If the mixture is too wet, add a little more panko.
4. Heat a large cast-iron skillet or non-stick pan over medium heat. Add a tablespoon of oil to the pan.
5. Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
6. Toast the hamburger buns in the same skillet for 1-2 minutes.
7. Assemble the burgers with the lettuce, tomato, and red onion.
8. Garnish with fresh herbs before serving.
