Salmon Burgers With Tartare Mayo Recipes

SALMON BURGERS WITH CURRY MAYO AND ASIAN SLAW

Steps:

• Combine the diced salmon with the ginger, scallions, salt, pepper and egg in a mixing bowl and mix well. Form the salmon into 4 equal patties, and coat the tops and bottoms with the crushed breadcrumbs.
• Lightly oil a grill or griddle over medium heat. You will want to cook a small portion of the mixture to test for seasoning and then adjust with salt and pepper, as needed. Cook the patties, about 2 minutes per side.
• Slather 1 ounce of the Curry Mayo Sauce on the bottom bun, and top with the salmon burger, Asian Slaw and top bun and serve.
• Combine the mayonnaise, curry paste, salt, cayenne and lime juice in a mixing bowl and mix well. Taste for acid and seasoning, and adjust with more salt and lime juice, if needed.
• It is best to make the slaw ahead of time and let sit for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to really blend together.
• Combine the rice wine vinegar, ponzu, sugar, salt, pepper, lime juice, cucumbers, peppers and cabbages in a large mixing bowl and mix well. Taste for acid and seasoning and adjust with lime and salt, if needed.

SALMON BURGERS WITH DILL TARTAR SAUCE

Steps:

• Put half of the salmon in a food processor and pulse until it's coarsely chopped. Transfer to a medium bowl. Chop the remaining salmon in the same manner, and add to the bowl. Fold in the shallot, capers, mustard, and 3/4 tsp. each salt and pepper. Form into four 3/4-inch-thick patties, set on a large oiled plate and cover, and refrigerate until ready to cook (up to 4 hours).
• Meanwhile, make the tartar sauce. In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise with the relish, dill, lemon juice, and 1/4 tsp. each salt and pepper. Taste and add more lemon juice, salt, and pepper if needed. The sauce will keep for up to one day in the refrigerator.
• Heat the oil in a large (12-inch), nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until it's shimmering. Add the salmon burgers (straight from the refrigerator; the cold temperature will help them hold together), reduce the heat to medium, and cook without touching until they brown at the edges, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and cook the other sides until they, too, are browned and the burgers are just a little pink in the center (check by slicing into a thicker part of one of the burgers with a paring knife), about 3 to 4 more minutes.
• Put the spinach, onion, and 2 tomato slices on each of the buns; top with the burgers and a dollop of the tartar sauce; add the top of the bun and serve.

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 LEMON BASIL MAYO

• Combine salmon, onion, bread crumbs, green bell pepper, 3 cloves garlic, egg, soy sauce, 1 teaspoon lemon juice, and salt in a large bowl; mix until evenly blended. Shape salmon mixture into eight patties.
• Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook salmon patties until golden brown, 4 to 6 minutes per side.
• Whisk mayonnaise, 2 cloves garlic, basil, 1 teaspoon lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and lemon pepper in a bowl until well mixed. Serve mayonnaise mixture with salmon patties.

SALMON BURGERS WITH RED PEPPER MAYO

Steps:

• 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.

SALMON BURGERS WITH CREAMY TARTAR SAUCE

Steps:

• Place shallot, mustard, one-fourth (4 ounces) of the salmon, 1 tablespoon of the capers, 1 tablespoon of the dill, 1 tablespoon of the tarragon, and 1 teaspoon of the lemon zest in a food processor. Pulse until mixture is mostly smooth, 5 or 6 pulses, stopping to scrape down sides as needed using a spatula. Add remaining 12 ounces salmon to food processor; pulse until salmon is chopped into about ¼-inch pieces and well combined with pureed salmon mixture, 5 to 6 pulses.
• Transfer mixture to a medium bowl. Add breadcrumbs, ¾ teaspoon of the salt, and ¼ teaspoon of the pepper; gently mix together using your hands. Divide mixture evenly into 4 (about 4-ounce) balls; shape each ball into a 4-inch-wide, ½-inch-thick patty. Arrange on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover with plastic wrap; chill 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, stir together mayonnaise, lemon juice, caper brine, and remaining 3 tablespoons capers, 1 tablespoon dill, 1 tablespoon tarragon, 1 teaspoon lemon zest, ¼ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper in a small bowl. Cover and chill tartar sauce until ready to use.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add salmon patties. Cook until golden, crisp on top and bottom, and a thermometer inserted into thickest portion of patties registers 145°F, about 3 minutes per side. Serve patties on toasted buns with tartar sauce, lettuce, and tomato slices.

SALMON BURGERS WITH TARTAR MAYONNAISE

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, tomatoes, parsley, capers, lemon juice and tabasco. Set aside. (This can be prepared in advance and cover it. It will be good up to 6 hours in the fridge).
• Put salmon fillet, skin side down, on a cutting board. Beginning by the tight side, with a knife, do a light incision between the skin and the flesh, to be able to hold the skin. Holding the skin firmly and putting the knife down and inclined, pull on the skin from the exterior in a movement of backwards and forwards. Cut the salmons in pieces.
• In food processor, mix salmon, 1/4 cup of the reserved tartar mayonnaise, onion, breadcrumbs, salt and pepper until salmon is finely chopped. Shape the mixture in 4 burgers of 3/4 inch thickness. (You can prepare the burgers in advance and put in an hermetic container, separating them with wax paper between each. They will be good up to the next day in the fridge).
• Set the barbecue to medium heat. Put the salmon burgers on an oiled grill and close the cover. Cook for about 10 minutes or until golden (flip them at mid-cooking).
• Meanwhile, put the slices of bread on the grill of the barbecue and cook 3 minutes or until lightly crispy (flip at mid-cooking). Put 4 slices of bread on a work surface. Garnish each one with a lettuce leaf, then with the salmon burger and remaining of tartar mayonnaise (divided in the 4). Cover with the other slices of bread.
