Salmon Burgers With Sriracha Sesame Mayo Recipes

5-INGREDIENT GRILLED SALMON BURGERS WITH SRIRACHA MAYONNAISE

Steps:

• For the burgers: Cut parchment or waxed paper into four 6-inch squares. Chop the scallions in a food processor. Add the salmon, lemon zest and juice, and pulse until finely chopped, with some small pieces remaining. Divide the salmon into four mounds on the parchment squares. Shape the salmon into patties, about 4 1/2-inches wide, being mindful not to over handle. Either cook right away or cover and refrigerate the burgers for a few hours before cooking.
• When ready to cook, preheat grill to medium heat, 375 to 400 degrees F.
• Sprinkle the tops of the burgers with salt and pepper. Grease the preheated grill with oil and carefully flip the burgers onto the grill, parchment-side up. Peel off the parchment and sprinkle the other side of burgers with salt and pepper. Cook until the centers begin to turn pale pink and the burgers release from the grill, about 5 minutes. Flip and cook through, about 3 minutes. For the mayonnaise: Combine the mayonnaise and Sriracha.
• Serve the burgers in buns or lettuce wraps. Top with the mayonnaise and serve with the lemon wedges.

SALMON BURGERS WITH SRIRACHA-SESAME MAYO

Steps:

• Preheat a grill pan, large cast-iron skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Oil the grill grates if using a grill.
• Cut the salmon into 1- to 2-inch chunks and transfer to a food processor. Pulse in 1-second intervals until the salmon is finely ground but not yet a paste. Scrape the salmon into a medium bowl. Add the panko, minced onion, jalapeno, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper; mix well. Form the mixture into 4 patties.
• Brush the salmon patties with oil and cook until nicely browned on the bottom, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip the patties and cook until browned and firm to the touch, 3 to 4 minutes longer.
• Meanwhile, whisk together the mayonnaise, sriracha and sesame oil in a small bowl; season with salt and pepper.
• Transfer the salmon patties to a plate or baking sheet; tent with foil. On the grill, grill pan or in the skillet, toast the buns until lightly browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Put the salmon patties in the buns. Top the patties with sriracha-sesame mayo, lettuce, sliced onion and cucumber and serve.

SALMON BURGERS WITH RED PEPPER MAYO

Steps:

• Make the red pepper mayo:
• Blend mayonnaise, bell peppers, capers, lemon juice, and salt in a blender, scraping down sides if needed, until smooth. Transfer to a small bowl.
• Cook and assemble the burgers:
• Mix breadcrumbs, pepper, and 1/2 cup red pepper mayo in a large bowl. Gently fold in flaked salmon. Divide mixture into 4 patties about 1/2" thick and 4" wide.
• Heat 1 Tbsp. oil in a large nonstick or cast-iron skillet over medium-high until shimmering. Working in batches, cook buns, cut side down, until golden brown and toasted, about 2 minutes. Divide among plates.
• Heat remaining 1 Tbsp. oil in same skillet. Cook salmon patties until golden brown and heated through, 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer burgers to bun bottoms. Spread about 2 tsp. red pepper mayo over burgers. Arrange bell pepper strips over, then top with bun to close.
• Do Ahead
• Red pepper mayo can be made 5 days ahead. Store in a resealable container and chill. Burger patties can be formed 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.
