Ingredients
2 pounds salmon fillets, skins removed
2 egg whites
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons minced fresh dill
1/2 cup dried breadcrumbs (as needed)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons good olive oil
4 hamburger buns
Simplest Coleslaw, recipe follows
Simplest Coleslaw:
2 cups green cabbage, grated on a box grater
1/3 cup mayonnaise
Dash of cold water
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Directions
- Mince the salmon on a cutting board then place it into a resealable bag. Using the flat end of a meat tenderizer, mash the salmon until it is finely minced. Place the salmon, egg whites, mustard, dill, breadcrumbs, and salt and pepper to taste into a large bowl and mix until well combined. Form into four patties.
- Heat the olive oil in a large (12-inch) grill pan over medium-high heat. When the grill pan is hot, add the salmon patties and cook for five minutes on each side, without moving so they form a crust. Toast the buns on the grill pan, cut sides down.
- To serve, place the cooked salmon burgers on the toasted buns with the Simplest Coleslaw on top of the burger.
Simplest Coleslaw:
- Place the cabbage, mayonnaise, water, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl and mix well.
