Ingredients
4 (6-ounce) skinless salmon fillets, cut into large chunks
1 tablespoon grill seasoning, (recommended: Montreal Seasoning by McCormick)
1 tablespoon poppy seeds
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
3 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
Extra-virgin olive oil for drizzling
1/2 cup softened cream cheese
3 scallions, whites and greens, chopped
1/2 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon lemon juice
Green leaf lettuce, for topping
Sliced beefsteak or vine ripe tomato, for topping
Sliced red onion, for topping
Crusty kaiser rolls, split and toasted
Directions
- Preheat outdoor grill if using to medium high. Prepare hot grill with cooking spray. Indoors, use a large skillet rather than a grill pan and preheat with a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil to medium-high heat.
- Place salmon in food processor and pulse to coarse grind meat to form burgers. Transfer fish to a mixing bowl and season with grill seasoning, poppy seeds, sesame seeds, and dill. Mix and form 4 patties. Drizzle the burgers with extra-virgin olive oil.
- Cook burgers 3 minutes on each side for a pink center, 4 to 5 minutes on each side for fully cooked fish.
- While burgers cook, combine in a bowl the cream cheese and the scallions and fold in sour cream and lemon juice.
- Top the burgers with lettuce, tomato, onion and sauce on crusty, toasted buns.
