Pan Seared Salmon Burgers With Chipotle Mayonnaise Recipes

CHIPOTLE SALMON BURGER

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, lime juice, and soy sauce. Add the bell pepper, onion, and chopped chipotle peppers, and stir until well combined. Fold in the panko, flaxseed, and beaten egg. Gently fold in the salmon.
• Divide the mixture into six equal parts and, using clean hands, shape each into a ball. Pat each ball into 2 1/2-inch-wide and 3/4-inch-thick burger patties. Place the patties into an airtight container and cover.
• Heat a medium grill pan or cast- iron skillet over medium- high heat. Add the olive oil, reduce the heat to medium, and cook the patties, in batches, until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Gently turn them over and brown the opposite sides for an additional 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer the cooked patties to a paper towel-lined plate while you prepare the sauce.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the yogurt, chives, and Worcestershire sauce.
• To serve, place each burger on a toasted bun, smear on a dollop of the sauce, and layer on the kale and thinly sliced red onion.
• Clean green tip:
• Instead of making burgers, you can shape the salmon mixture into mini-salmon cakes for bite- size party appetizers. Top with a little dollop of creamy chive sauce and watch your guests devour these bites!

PAN-SEARED SALMON BURGERS

Steps:

• Place garlic in a food processor in pulse; then, add the salmon to combine and pour ground up salmon into a large bowl.
• Add garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, salt, pepper, breadcrumbs, and cheese and stir to combine.
• Use your hands to form mixture into burgers, placing them on a plate.
• Then, heat a large skillet (I used my cast iron) over medium high heat with olive oil--at least 3 tbsp--and wait a minute or so before adding in the burgers. You may need to do this in two rounds depending on how many burgers fit in your skillet. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook burgers for 3-4 minutes per side.
• For the aioli: Place mayo in a bowl and set aside; then, heat olive oil in a skillet and add the garlic. Cook garlic until it turns slightly golden, then pour garlic and olive oil into the bowl with the mayo; stir to combine.
• Assemble burgers the way you would a normal burger with plenty of garlic aioli.
• Enjoy!

SALMON BURGERS WITH GINGER AND QUICK-PICKLED CUCUMBERS

Steps:

• Process one third of salmon (about 8 oz.) in a food processor, scraping down sides as needed, until very smooth and paste-like. Add remaining salmon and pulse until pieces are no bigger than ¼," 4-5 times (be careful not to make it too smooth). Transfer to a large bowl.
• Remove dark green tops from scallions and finely chop. Thinly slice white and pale green parts and set aside. Add chopped scallion greens, ginger, garlic, 2 Tbsp. mayonnaise, and 1 tsp. salt to salmon and gently mix to combine. Form mixture into 4 patties about ¾" thick. Transfer to a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet and cover with plastic wrap. Chill at least 1 hour or up to 3 hours.
• Meanwhile, mix sesame oil, 1 tsp. vinegar, remaining ⅔ cup mayonnaise, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl; set aside.
• Toss cucumbers with a pinch of salt in another small bowl. Massage with your hands for a few minutes to soften and expel liquid; discard liquid. Add chile, sugar, and 2 tsp. vinegar and toss to coat. Cover and chill pickles until ready to assemble burgers.
• Heat vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high. Remove salmon patties from refrigerator and sprinkle with flour just to coat the outside (you won't need all of it). The patties will be a little loose but you can always pat them back together with your hands before they hit the pan. Working in batches and adding more oil in between batches if needed, cook patties until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side (watch carefully; you don't want to overcook).
• Toss herbs, watercress, sesame seeds (if using), reserved white and pale green parts of scallions, remaining 1 tsp. vinegar, and a pinch of salt in a medium bowl. Build burgers with buns, patties, herb mixture, pickles, and reserved sauce.

PAN-SEARED SALMON BURGERS

Steps:

• Mix the salmon, chives, parsley, salt and pepper together. Mold into two patties. Add the canola oil to the pan to heat. When the oil is heated, place the patties into the oil and cook for 15 minutes on each side. When the patties are golden brown, remove from pan and place on hot buttered buns. Add onion, tomatoes, bacon, cucumber, and your favorite mustard. Enjoy!

GRILLED SALMON BURGER WITH CHIPOTLE MAYO RECIPE | TRAEGER GRILLS

• Roughly chop the salmon and place it in the bowl of the food processor and pulse 2 to 3 times.
• Remove salmon mixture from food processor and form into 5 patties roughly 6 ounces each.

• Place salmon burgers directly on the grill grate and cook for 4 minutes on each side, flipping once.
• For the Chipotle Mayo: Combine mayonnaise, chipotles and adobo sauce, lime juice, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Mix well and refrigerate until ready to use.
