Equipment

  • 1 Grill pan or skillet
  • 2 Mixing bowls
  • 1 Cutting board
  • 1 Knife
  • 1 citrus juicer (or fork)
  • 1 Spatula
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Serving platter or plates
  • Non-stick grill mat (if grilling outdoors)

Ingredients
  

Salmon Burgers

  • 1 lb salmon fillet (skin removed)
  • 1 cup fresh or panko breadcrumbs
  • ¼ cup chopped cilantro or parsley
  • 2 eggs
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp mustard
  • ½ tsp salt and pepper
  • Olive oil

Avocado Salsa

  • 1 large chopped avocado
  • ⅓ cup chopped red onion
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 juiced lime
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • Sprinkle of salt and pepper

Instructions
 

  • To make these awesome salmon burgers, start by chopping up your salmon fillet into little bits.
  • Toss those bits into a bowl and mix in all the other burger ingredients. Let that sit for a bit while you prep the avocado salsa.
  • For the avocado salsa, just combine all the ingredients together in another bowl.
  • Now, get your pan nice and hot with a little oil.
  • Shape the salmon mixture into patties (use about ½ cup per patty) and cook them for about 4 minutes per side, or until they're cooked through and nicely browned.
  • Top with the avocado salsa and enjoy!

Notes

You might prefer fresh breadcrumbs for your salmon burgers, although Panko works great too. If you're going the fresh route, just pop 4 slices of slightly stale bread into your food processor and pulse it until you've got breadcrumbs. Italian or regular white bread will give you the best results here.
